The most common reason is a conflict with your computer’s audio settings, spatial audio features, or connected devices (such as the DualSense controller’s built-in audio). Other causes can include switching DLSS settings or changing your audio device in Windows while the game is running. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Switch Audio Output Devices
If your audio device isn’t working in Windows, make sure you’ve selected the correct device. If it works in Windows but not in the game, your in-game audio settings might not be set up correctly.
2. Turn Off Audio Enhancements
Audio Enhancements are intended to improve your sound quality, but sometimes they can interfere with game audio. Turning off these enhancements makes sure your audio signal passes through without unnecessary changes.
3. Set Bitrate to DVD Quality
Selecting DVD quality ensures better compatibility and helps avoid problems that can affect game sound. By setting the bitrate to DVD quality (16-bit, 48000 Hz), you reduce the risk of audio errors and improve your overall sound experience. If you’re still having trouble, try this step next.
4. Reinstall Audio Drivers
If you’re still experiencing issues, you might need to reinstall your audio driver. Sometimes, drivers can become outdated, corrupted, or incompatible with updates. Reinstalling the driver ensures you have the latest version and can fix hidden audio problems.
