Can you post anything relevant about your audio drivers or configuration?

DarioSamo avatar Mar 08 '25 04:03 DarioSamo

Perhaps check the sample rate in the control panel's audio devices?

Yes, I have tried all the value on the Audio Device settings but no result. I'm using Realtek HD Audio and I also attached the driver version and codec if it's helping.

Got any other audio devices to try out? I tried your sample rate setting and it seems fine.

DarioSamo avatar Mar 08 '25 04:03 DarioSamo

Not really, no. Seems like the problem only occurs on Unleashed Recompiled for some reason because newer games doesn't have this issue at all.

You'll have to provide some information that can help narrow down what the problem is. Don't just say you have the issue too.

im sry I did try the option above but didn't work here are my specs CPU: Intel Core I 7 14700f GPU: NVIDIA GeForce rtx 4060 Ti GPU Driver: NVIDIA driver 572.20 OS: Windows 11 I'm using the latest 1.02

i had the issue as well, but i narrowed it down to a Windhawk plugin i had that restricted apps from overwriting the default Windows timer resolution (which is 15.6ms i think), and Unleashed Recompiled sets it to 1ms (according to ThrottleStop)

i5-1335U Realtek Audio driver 6.0.9689.1 W11 24H2 26100.3323

@ShadowGuy132 @LoloGX Can you confirm if you've installed something like that?

DarioSamo avatar Mar 11 '25 02:03 DarioSamo

No, I don't have these programs installed on my PC never used them before

LoloGX avatar Mar 11 '25 11:03 LoloGX

We should probably make a test regardless to test whether the timer resolution works effectively on your system. I'll keep that in mind.

I am also suffering incredibly choppy audio

GPU: AMD Radeon 7800XT RAM: 32GB DDR5 OS: Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon

I believe I am also on 1.0.2. I installed both the game and update via terminal, as my install does not have Discover.

@CompetitiveDishwasher If you're on linux, you should try different SDL Audio Drivers through the environment variable.

is there any fix yet ?

LoloGX avatar Mar 23 '25 17:03 LoloGX

No, we don't have a system that can reproduce this issue yet and we have no leads on what the cause is.
