Crash part way through game

Hi, I've just started playing using FAF and am hitting a crash part way through playing and sometimes just when trying to exit the game. I have some error text below if that helps. Does anyone have any suggestions?

See the XACT errors ? That means your sound hardware is incorrectly configured. SCFA is pretty much unstable with surround sound hardware - your audio hardware must be set to STEREO otherwise the game will crash randomly.

@Sprouto Thanks for the quick answer, I've had a look at my sound settings and they look like they are set to stereo but will try tweaking and see if I have any luckScreenshot 2021-01-11 212856.png

The problem won't be found in the MSI software, but in the OS - Win10 device properties

@Sir_Benson_Ruffl

With some luck, you are almost there!

Please refer to the sound faq

In particular, check the default format.

Hopefully, that'll fix the issues you are having!

If that doesn't work, please check under the "regular" Windows audio settings as well.
