Audio issues during playback of FC 25? Experiencing crackling or popping sounds?
Audio issues during playback of FC 25? Experiencing crackling or popping sounds?
Hello,
hopefully someone can help me with this issue.
My system details:
CPU: i7-13700k
GPU: 4070 Ti
RAM: 32GB
Recently, while playing a few FC games, the audio would crackle or pop, especially during cutscenes. I managed to fix it by limiting FPS, but that didn’t work in FC 25. I’m not sure if this is usually linked to the CPU.
I’ve also experienced this problem on an older PC before I started playing these games, so maybe a patch will help?
It’s always the same with in-game or external audio—it just keeps cracking.
Thank you.
