Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to post this for I am new here, if it is not the right place I am sorry.
A while back I experienced audio issues on my current build. Only the cpu is older then a week. The rest is bought new and straight out of the box.
- CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x
- CPU Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 4
- GPU: 7900XT
- MOB: B550 Tomahawk
- RAM: 64GB Corsair LPX Vengeance 3200mhz
- PSU: Corsair 850x
Prior to the Motherboard I had the following boards
- Asus ROG E-Gaming X570 (2 years old)
- Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (2 weeks old, already RMA'ed)
- MSI B550 Tomahawk
All of them have exactly the same issues in the same games on the same place.
When I load up games the audio is messed up. The games I tried.
- Witcher 3 (next-gen)
- Baldur's gate 3
- Starfield
Witcher 3 and Starfield suffer from exact same glitch, a audio glitching with high beeps and swoops in the background, it is noticeable. When lowering a certain in game audio slider like music it disappears. Already made contact with CDPROJEKT and they cannot recreate it so it has to be within my system. In Baldur's gate 3 however the audio cracks during character creation and cuts out. I already did the following, so don't suggest it please.
So I already did the following:
- Contacted Larian and the other game studios, what not really a helped, cause they came with the same troubleshooting things I already did sadly.
- Verified the gamefiles. I did this multiple times
- Reinstalled the game. I did this multiple games
- Verified my audio settings making sure it was alright, only running realtek.
- Did a audio restore
- Runned it on different directX versions
- Changed output from 44.1 to 48 kHz and vice versa
- Tried different outputs
- Spacial audio on or off didn't make a difference
- Audio enhancement on or off didn't make a difference
- Disconnected a game controller, it could be seen as a audio device by Windows, I read this somewhere on another sound issue post.
- Reinstalled a clean version of the realtek drivers
- Reinstalled GPU drivers through DDU
- Disconnect the WiFi antenna just to be sure.
- Disabled the mic just to be sure.
- Used a DAC
- Used process Lasso
- Tried launching the .exe files as admin
- Bios update
- Tried a bluetooth headset that didn't work
- Did a cmd sfc scannow, everything is fine
- Did a cmd DISM HealthCheck, everything is fine
- Did a cmd DISM RestoreHealth, everything is fine
- Delete realtek drivers and used Windows audio driver no difference
- Run Windows audio troubleshooting
- Completely reinstalled Windows 11 and this all over again
- Bought a new Motherboard (tried three different mobo's), SSD, RAM, GPU to no avail.
Now I believe it to be the CPU.
CPU stats as of today
- Ryzen 9 5900x
- Core voltage 1.48 constantly
- Idle temps: 40-65 degrees Celsius
- Load temps: 65-80 degrees Celsius
- GHZ: 4.2ghz
- OC: none all stock, XMP is turned off.
So if anybody got any ideas it would be appreciated.
It could also be windows 11 or the cooler isn't good enough and need to switch to an AIO
So I am troubleshooting for 35 days now and I am at a loss at this point.
