In my earlier thread, i posted a solution for fixing the sound bug by disabling Origin overlay. Disabling origin overlay fixed the sound bug for me for atleast 3 months. But, i notice that many of you are saying that disabling origin overlay didn't fix the sound bug for you. This led me to think that it may be a multi-pronged issue. I understand that we all have very different hardware configurations on our PCs. So, i'd like you to try one last thing before you give up. Just to keep other confounding variables away, don't be running other voice tools like skype, discord, etc when you're running the game. (at least until you can confirm the following fix). Disable turboboost if you have it enabled. I usually have turboboost disabled for certain reasons and it just occured to me that many of ya might have it enabled. Here are a couple of ways to disable it. www.tautvidas.com/blog/2011/04/disabling-intel-turbo-boost/Kindly report back and let everyone know if the above two steps fixed it for ya.

Is there some logical reason why you've not just replied to your existing thread rather than create this new one? Only forums are good like that and as this thread is completely related to the first one, it dumbfounds me that you've created a 2nd thread.
I've got an AMD FX8350, and no way am i f*'ing around with any of the turbo boost it gives me for THIS game.

I've got an AMD FX8350, and no way am i f*'ing around with any of the turbo boost it gives me for THIS game. Dude, i solve some very important problems for some very important folks out there for a living. My mind goes to the moon and back many times a day. Somewhere in the middle of that, i suppose i forgot to check if i "dumbfounded" you by posting in a different thread. (?!?!?!?! why the fck does it matter dude?) IF All your games snail out without turbo-boost---->its time you upgraded your PC. IF you're just overwhelmed by the thought of getting into your BIOS for trialing such a simple fix, let's dumb it down a tad bit more. Just install some program like Throttlestop and you can create keyboard shortcuts to toggle turboboost on or off. You wouldn't have to do anything scary. IF it was was narrowed down to a Turboboost issue, i can email the simpletons in EA/Bioware and let them know exactly what they need to fix. After they fix it, you can turn your turboboost back on ( ) and celebrate the performance enhancement. Turboboost almost feels like feeding your flaccid computer some Viagra eh? Don't worry, don't worry, we won't kill its performance for too long, just long enough to trial this goddamn sound bug fix. Soon after, we'll let that PC get its boner back again. We'll make your PC great again...bigly.

Your answer alone can't be trusted too much (i'm sure you know what i mean, that's how it works in the test world). BTW, How's your Volus uncle doing? the one who gave you 73 million credits one fine day.... Is he in good health?

I've already had turbo boost off for months but I'm eagerly awaiting the third installment in your series I've already downloaded the entire series through torrent: it's not worth the read. It spans 13 parts, which each deal with disabling a certain part of the game. Episode 13 climaxes with the protagonist being revealed the name of his arch-enemy - "The Sound that Shall Not Be Heard" - is Frostbite. He ultimately defeats his nemesis by disabling the last part, effectually uninstalling the game...

Even if you identified a cause of a problem right now, and even if you supplied/emailed ea/bioware with the information about what they need to fix.. the problem will still remain due to no patches coming down any more.. support has officially been withdrawn.

And then, the question has already been put forward to the devs. Billy Buskell answered it on May 25th: "It is a larger bug that relates to Frostbite (the game engine underlying MEA) and they have reached out to the Frostbite team for help."

OP, on one hand I applaud your drive to try and help out the community. On the other hand, as a fellow Person who solves important problems for important people TM and occasionally creates problems for them too (my new job description in my CV btw ), you should know that you're going about it all wrong. The fact of the matters is - there is a something wrong going somewhere with Frostbite (let's call it a bug). What you're essentially trying to do is eliminate conditions that may (or may not!) help trigger the bug. But as Frostbite is so top secret we have no idea really what triggers the bug's code path and have no good way of finding it. So we're going in trying to fix it look for a workaround completely blind! I see people go about the same thing every day. We find a bug, we want to fix it for them. But no, they insist they don't want the patch and the issue never happens when they spray salt on their server, dance three times around it, and then send a prayer to Cthulhu. I mean fine, if that's what floats your boat, I guess you'll live without the patch. The only difference is... no one is going to patch this for us.

Since you started another thread, I thought I would post my preliminary results here too, in case you didn't read it.
Played 5 games last night with Origin In game disabled. The audio did not cut out on the first 4 games, but did cut out on the 5th game during the 2nd wave.
I do not use Turboboost.
So far your theory didn't hold up.

If disabling turboboost didn't cut it, turn it back on. The last thing to trial is to DISABLE any AUDIO ACCELERATION for your specific PC. The procedure may vary for your individual hardware (on board, dedicated sound card, etc), OS, etc. Here's an example for windows 10. www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-audio-enhancements-windows-10If this fails too, do as follows Step 1: Uninstall all your games, delete your bsn account and shut your computer Step 2: Jump up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down Step 3: Proceed to doing enhanced jumps a.k.a hit your head on the ceiling everytime you jump higher and scream "why? why? why?" Step 4: Continue enhanced jump until your floor joists break Step 5: Swiftly fall into your basement and land on your Quarian bum bum Gnite.

I mean fine, if that's what floats your boat, I guess you'll live without the patch. The only difference is... no one is going to patch this for us. The fact of the matter is - i moved this game to my new workstation (16 core Ryzen Threadripper, Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Crossfire) last night and did some tests. LOL Nvidia/Intel fanboys are so fucked, Rock on AMD!!! But, but, back to the game, back to this game. My previous tests on my older rig and my new workstation indicate that this game is need of a few optimization tweaks. It would appear to the average player that this game is unsually hardware hungry and I understand that the average consumer may not have very powerful rigs. But, I'll have to skip the technical jargon here. In any case, This would be more time intensive for Bioware to do on the engine itself. There are simpler ways to take care of this For now, refer to my comment on the audio acceleration tweak above and see if it worked. Bye.
