The audio issues appear exclusively during gameplay.
Hey everyone, I just assembled a new PC and encountered some audio issues when launching games like BG3 and Helldivers 2. The sound becomes choppy, with every other syllable cut off, especially during gameplay. However, playing music through my browser (like YouTube) works perfectly. At first, the visuals were unstable, but after updating drivers and ensuring everything was current, that part improved. Now, though, the audio keeps stuttering. I'm using Insignia Bluetooth speakers and have installed the latest audio drivers along with the necessary Bluetooth support. I've adjusted the sound settings, disabled audio enhancement, and restricted programs from claiming exclusive control over the speakers—what else should I try?
Here are my PC specifications:
- AMD Ryzen 9 7900x 4.7 GHz 12-core CPU
- MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WIFI ATX AM5 motherboard
- Acer Predator BiFrost OC Arc A770 16 GB GPU
- Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT 65.57 CFM Liquid Cooling system
- G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM
- Western Digital Black SN770 2TB SSD
- Western Digital Black SN850x 4TB SSD
- Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Modular ATX power supply
I notice there are 13 distinct bios files for your motherboard. Are you sure your BIOS is current? Have you installed all the chipset, LAN, audio drivers, Bluetooth and other updates from the MSI support site?
