Audio Issues Apex Legends

[FalconMosquito]

i have a really good headphone cosair hs50 and it happens to me i have a good cpu ryzen 7 2700x and a good gpu 1660ti all settings are set to low (to achieve maximum fps) but i still get audio delays. i am using a really good (could be better internet) optimum 300 (well its trash but immon a budget) but it still lags. also i am connected to the router via ethernet.  help us devs!

I've been getting this bug too recently. I'm using an external USB DAC to drive my headphones which seems to be common for those with this problem. I'm playing on Windows 10 with a Ryzen 2600, an R9290X  and 16GB of RAM. I  suspect the issue involves some kind of CPU bottlenecking as sometimes when the bug occurs my game will slow down and even freeze before catching up and playing ll the audio I have missed. The bug was not present with the same DAC/headphone combo on an older system of mine with a Xeon CPU and 8GB of  RAM and the same GPU

no problem on my pc, but happen on my ps4 every time in skull ... same for all my friends + lag during gu, fight

Music and lobby volume at 5 and 6 respectively. SE and Diag at 100. Sound in background and convert incoming chat to text on. Play text chat as speech off.

I turned off voice to text and it didn’t lag twice after about 10 games of lag so that may be it

Thank you for the details @sutibn. I'd definitely be interested in the sound settings of those still encountering this.

Hey, Legends.

There are some really great workaround solutions in here. We'll continue to relay community sentiment to the team and examples of where sound isn't quite right in game, but all the potential fixes you listed here to make the game a more enjoyable experience is super helpful and I wanted to take a moment to thank you.

If anyone else is aware of out of the ordinary troubleshooting fixes feel free to share them here so when others are searching audio issues they can find a great list in this thread. 

Thank you again and good luck in Kings Canyon!

@EA_Blueberry Does the dev team have any intentions of informing users of a solution to the sound issues?

Its getting difficult to maintain teammates to play with when they get so frustrated by the sound that they won’t play anymore.
