Sound cuts in and out. Only on ESO. Anyone have a fix yet? Please say yes!

    Happening to me also. Maybe it's lag related. Only started happening in 1.6 for me.

    Running a repair from the launcher might resolve this sound issue. You can find instructions on how to run a repair here: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3330

    Same issue. Sound cuts out, especially in combat. Combat sound seems to cue up, and play after the pause becoming horribly desynced.

    Running a repair now.

    UPDATE: The repair found nothing damaged during validation.

    It seems like lag, cos some of the combat seems laggy too. For example with the bow, it shoots faster but it's like there's not enough time for it to register when you stop autoshooting and try to do another move.

    So it's still an issue. Any word on if it's a bug? Wasn't there some sound related bug that held them back from releasing it at the end of Feb? Hope this isn't the same one.

    It's not. That one, sound would cut completely after about an hour. You still had interface sounds, but no music, dialog (I think) or normal sound effects. Quitting out was the only way to get those back.

    That said, this issue is probably related, given to sound constantly cutting out intermittently for a fraction of a second.

    I make some research about that issue.

    Quick solution.
    Take on low your shadow on graphic options.
    If that don't work, lower your textures and others and that will work.

    Seems to work after changing textures from high to medium.

    Yes, that is my hot fix.
    I don't know why graphic quality damage that much sound quality with out using HDD, but i think it is something with RAM bandwidth limit or other memory issue.

    My audio lagging during combat started just after this last "hotfix" they did. I will have audio cut out for 1-2 seconds during combat , especially when im using dual wield skills.

    This problem actually affects my crafting UI window as well with stuttering and lag.

    Repair and lowering settings fixes nothing. Game is broken.

    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.
    Werewolf is not equal to Vamps/Bats.

    I resolved my issue with this. Maybe for some of you it will work too.

    I increased my max LUA memory in the eso user settings file. Default is 64, and I increased it to 512. It removed all combat lag and audio cut outs I was having in combat. I know it seems random, but it is what it is.

    I think I found something. It's not a "full-fix", but it's definetly better than before. At least now, the sounds are 0.5s delayed and occurs less than before.

    After 5 days of tweaking and testing the settings, I came up with something. From my experience, the sound delay thing occurs because, in a way, the engine doesn't allow multiple sounds to be played at once, so some of them are dalayed. Or they are not processed at once, At least this is how I feel, I am not expert. It's no wonder anyway since, ESO engine barely handles 2+ cores.

    There are two command lines in UserSettings that I modified :
    SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1" >>> to 0
    SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1" >>> to 0

    This two commands put less pressure on the engine and on your CPU, I tested on 32bit version for 15 minutes and is partially working. MUCH better than before anyway !

    I will test 64bit also, I just got so excited to see it working that I came here to announce you first. Until Zenimax patches this, i'm gonna use this thing.

    Hope it help ! Waiting on your feedback !
