Starfield: How to Fix Audio Issues
Since Starfield‘s release in early access on August 31st, players have noticed some glitching and cutting out with the audio occasionally. Some people have reported that it happened to them while traveling through space, but we’ve experienced it in quite a few circumstances. Whether in a firefight, listening to some dialogue for an NPC, or wandering around, the audio seems glitchy.
There have also been some other issues impacting players’ gameplay in the form of pretty big frame drops, causing some severe lagging. While most of these issues can be fixed with some patching, tons of players take time off work and set aside valuable time from their other responsibilities in life, so coming up with a quick fix is necessary. However, some players have come up with some troubleshooting methods that have proven successful. Try out the following methods to make Starfield run smoother on your PC and fix the audio cutting out:
- Try to move Starfield to an SSD on your computer if it is installed directly on your hard drive.
- Whenever you play Starfield in non-fullscreen, try to disable Dynamic Resolution and enable Gsync.
- In your settings, disable VRS, Motion Blur, and VSync.
- Lower your graphics settings a bit; maybe your PC is just having a hard time trying to keep up.
- If you have Starfield purchased through Steam, turn off Online Mode and run Starfield as an admin.
- Update your PC’s drivers.
- If all else fails, you can attempt to uninstall, then reinstall Starfield
