Summarize your bug Audio is glitching it’s freezing really bad while racing

Hi @Clixx_kid, 

Are you only noticing the stuttering with the game audio? The game itself isn't hitching up or stuttering when this happen?

@EA_Kent Maybe I can help on this with some examples from my races which I've recorded on twitch

1. https://www.twitch.tv/johnysidestep/v/1520509331?sr=a&t=1550s (Almost unplayable)

2. https://www.twitch.tv/johnysidestep/v/1520509331?sr=a&t=2734s (Same day, we've just restated the lobby because maybe 1/2 players had it the same - little bit better but still nearly unplayable)

3. Few days later we've tried again: https://www.twitch.tv/johnysidestep/v/1522317824?sr=a&t=1485s (Lot less but still there, I've tried some fixes)

4. And yesterday I've played again with same lobby settings and it was okay.

My fixes what I've tried but idk if it helped or which of them helped:

1. Manually disabling other output deviced which I'm not using in Windows

2. Reinstalling my Realtek driver

3. Reducing audio quality in game to very low.

First 3 I've tried between attempt #2 (Britain) and #3 (Austria), but there was still something in Austria also.

Next I've tried to optimise my game settings for more fps (I'm playing on 144Hz and I've found out sometimes my frame rate drops to 135 +-) So what I've done: (Fullscreen windowed, optimise my Radeon to gaming, with game boost etc., Reducing graphics to medium with some adjustments like low crowd etc.) After that there was same race with same settings in France (#4) and I've got none of these issues. If it is because of my settings or pure luck idk.

@JanKondler 

I appreciate the info! 

Could you grab a few additional details that I can pass along? 

• Game Version (bottom left of start screen)
• 16-Digit Report Code (Pause menu in-game, Settings in home screen)

[JanKondler]

@EA_Kent It was on version 1.03, I've stopped playing it now, but it is still bugged on current version, 90% of audio bugs reports is the same as this problem

Code: RMDA-SADJ-CTXR-EPXE, mine from Silverstone, idk if it is changing 

[JanKondler]

If it is not: RMDA-SADJ-CTXR-EPXE, it is RMOA-SADJ-CTXR-EPXE, pretty hard to tell from that replay if it is D or O

@EA_Kent Cmon do something with it, at least response. This is from todays Brendon Leigh stream, if you are not listening to me, you should be listening to him. Hopefully it will happen to Opmeer as well so maybe you would care: https://clips.twitch.tv/ConcernedSuperKittenPraiseIt-NqaVOcq_DviD5wyz
