DISABLE TURBOBOOST IN ADDITION TO DISABLING ORIGIN OVERLAY (Sound bug fix)

Once frostbitten, twice shy.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Turboboost feature on Intel CPUs. This is simply shoddy troubleshooting.

You sound like the more informed one on this thread. Its hard to tell if if some of these illiterates even know what's on or not in their PCs, or could be vindictive enough to report the opposite even if the suggested fix worked.

I have pretty much narrowed it down to disabling audio enhancements (sound acceleration) alone. Turned all other hardware acclns on. I am able to reproduce and fix the sound bug by toggling ONLY audio enhancements on/off.

control panel/sound/ pick your audio device/ properties/enhancements/disable all enhancements. If you have a dedicated sound card, flip to integrated sound and do the same.

see if this works for ya and confirm.

The problem is that I don't play at the moment, and even if I did, I'm not able to reproduce the bug in order to try this workaround, since I could go for months without being affected and then one night it hits me, seemingly out of the blue.

Disabling audio acceleration, the most common and one of the oldest suggested fixes for sound-related issues might work, but just like reverting to directx 9 in certain games instead of dx11, it wouldn't be the most ideal solution.

Oh and I'm not fond of my on-board Realtek-crap by the way...

PS: It's good to hear it's finally worthwhile again to go (back to) AMD. I'm not exactly the biggest Intel nor NVidia supporter...
I'm not really sure about Crossfire (or SLI for that matter), since it's great if it works well, and frustrating if it doesn't. Especially since multi-GPU support isn't much of a priority in developer's minds, which is counter-productive considering power-hungry gimmicks like 4K, VR, and 144+Hz (and thus fps) are a "thing" right now.

Put sefuctivewizard on ignore list and enjoy sound bug free gaming.

Nvidia/Intel fanboys really want to live in a world where  Nvidia/Intel can decide how much they can charge for their product and how much more performance you get each generation without any meaningful competition. Just a reminder, right before the advent of Ryzen and the threadripper class of CPUs (16 cores 32 threads on the 1950x for a thousand bucks), Intel was selling a 10 core CPU for about 2000 bucks, now it's half as much. Before Ryzen, a 5+ years old Intel i7 2600K would still be comparable to a new 7700K, now we're about to get 6 cores Intel consumer CPUs at the cost of 4 cores ones. It's against Intel/Nvidia fanboys' own interest if AMD fails, but li'l do they know. 

I bother to use my workstations primarily for FEM when i work from home. My last Intel fkstation only cost 5000 bucks (facepalm). My new AMD beast cost less than half of that to build. The threadripper suite of CPUs bitchslaps anything Intel can throw at it.

Crossfire's a gem if you tweak a li'l bit friend. My Radeon 295X2 from 2014 (that i bought for 650 bucks back then) still troll beats the fucking 1080Ti. Bwaahahahaa.

A Intel/Nvidia fanboy is kinda like a Trump supporter who lives in a trailer park.

True.


IF it works... What I meant that more and more games are released with zero or half-assed multiGPU-support where half of your 295X2 would be useless. Quite often Crossfire support is added a month after release of certain games. And 'nvidia'-sponsored games usually remain problematic in this regard.

I must sound like a traitor but I traded my dual R9 290X for a single 1080. And altough I think the nvidia control panel sucks ass, I don't regret the change performance-wise...


I'm not getting involved in (foreign) politics.
