I have an issue with audio and models in games.
I have an issue with audio and models in games.
I’m experiencing this unusual issue where the audio vanishes or gets suppressed, then suddenly resumes with all sounds at once. This also happens with certain models—like missing a shield battery during charging or not seeing the weapon model. The problem is clear in this video:

I’m playing Apex Legends on Steam, and I’ve noticed the same behavior in Rainbow Six Siege too. My setup includes:
Intel i7-4771, GTX 1660 Ti, 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
What I’ve tried so far:
- Closed all other programs
- Confirmed game cache integrity
- Reinstalled a fresh clean Windows version
- Played on Origin instead of Steam
- Ran chkdsk on my hard drive (no errors found)
This bug started randomly a few days ago, and before that I was playing without issues.
Anyone have any suggestions or help?
Consider visiting this website and utilizing the latency monitor tool in the background during gameplay. It will identify any issues. After finishing the game, return to the program to check for reported driver problems.
I have ran the application for multiple games,
consistent reading and this is the latest reading I have:

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.
Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 412.40
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 5.367004
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 389.20
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2.017523

REPORTED ISRs
_
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.084255
Driver with highest ISR total time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.092292
ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 264961
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 500-1000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0
_
REPORTED DPCs
_
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.
Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 793.805842
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 457.09 , NVIDIA Corporation
Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.044410
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0.118679
DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 621780
DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 500-10000 µs): 87
DPC count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0
_
REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.
Process with highest pagefault count: vegas130.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 10290
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 4685
Number of processes hit: 44

I also recorded a video of that trial in specific:

You can clearly see the buggy weapon model and shield model, the sound is also delayed/suppressed.
The loads on my CPU/GPU are also visible on the top left corner
I turned off paging in Windows entirely and attempted to play again, encountering the same issue. This time I noticed freezes, and when my game froze, I checked the HDD via Task Manager—it showed 100% active time but zero average response time, read speed, and write speed. Does this indicate an HDD problem or something else?
Was das Ereignis mit dem Aktualisieren der Nvidia-Treiber zusammenhängend? Können Sie weitere Treiber aktualisiert haben?
My current preset matches the existing one, but the issue remains unresolved. The graphics card is set to high performance in the Nvidia control panel.
I'll read it however it is good to note that I have the same issue in other games as well.
