Updated fix to audio bugs?
-
Ever since I installed FAF on my new Windows 11 machine, the audio has been super buggy. Apparently this is a well known issue, even though I never experienced on my previous computer that ran on 10. The posts I could find on these issues are so old though, and none of the solutions worked. Judging by the fact that nobody else complains about this, I assume there is some well known fix I just missed out on.
I posted to Steam forums before here and some people said its a lost cause and they just restart their computer until the audio is normal again, which is insane.

welcome to the world of microsoft's great products and even greater audio drivers for win 11. i have a dedicated sound device, and i had to manually deactivate creative protocols für my device in the winodws registry for it to eventually work once i made the step "up" to win11, as the drivers constantly set back my sound settings back to 5.1 once i rebooted the pc. i don't even have 5.1 speakers. since fa automatically detects your sound devices/settings, and doesn't let you manually set it, it fucked up my whole sound and kept corrupting the game.prefs file.

@wilson_ So the answer is "there is no fix"

Well your timing is actually perfect, because earlier today... https://github.com/FAForever/FA-Binary-Patches/pull/178
It seems like there might be a patch to fix it in the near future but it hasn't been tested yet.
In the meantime there's these two if you haven't seen yet https://forum.faforever.com/topic/796/i-can-t-hear-some-of-the-audio-or-other-sound-issue-what-should-i-do and https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4084/solutions-for-snd-error-xact-invalid-arg-xact3dapply-failed
