Windows 10: Forza Horizon 4 with a ton of Problems. How do i fix Audio and crashes?

I hvae now been wandering among all the forums i could find and nobody had neither a specific nor a working solution for me:

I have dwnloaded the Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition through Game Pass yesterday but i have a lot of issues with the game. (I'm on PC btw. Win10)

The Story:

After finishing the download yesterday, i have started the game. Everything ran smoothly I had Audio, and the Intro Videos were playing nicely.
Then i arrived in the menu and noticed that there was no sound. I thought oh well a menu without sound isnt nice but it works. So i started the game. My Ears exploded because i suddenly had sound again. Then the cutscene ended and i again had no sound. I searched Forums, asked friends and so on and so on. I didnt understand how to fix it until today. I searched again and found out that unchecking the "Disable all enhancements" box in the windows sound configuration did the Job. But here is an other important information: With no sounds i was able to play the game i controlled the car and all that.


As noted i unchecked the box in the sound config from windows, restarted my PC and then started the Game again. YAY Sound in the menu. I chose continue in the menu and it started loading. But before i was able to control the car even before the cutscene really started, my PC froze COMPLETELY. I wasnt able to start task manager, CTRL+ALT+DEL didnt work so my only option was to press the Reset Button. I thought this was a one time occasion and i started the game again but now it crashed my PC in the Loading screen itself. I tried giving Forza Horizon a higher Priority and all these things i read in forums but nothing helped. After changing some settings in my sound driver, that i will revert again, i have some awful noise jittering on my Headphones but that i know how to fix.

btw, my PC is not the best but i checked that my PC can run it with the requirements. My Drivers are up to date and windows also doesnt have any pending updates on my PC. I've tried everything possible but nothing worked. I will not reinstall it because i dont think that would help. It would be a waste of time I dont know if there is a repair function for the windows apps like you have on steam where you can verify game files but if there is please tell me i didnt find it.

Forza Horizon 4 with a ton of Problems. How do i fix Audio and crashes?

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I would like to get more information on this issue.



May I know if the issue is with this particular application (Forza Horizon 4) or with all the other programs as well?

If it is only with this particular program then, you will need to post a query
Forza Horizon forum as it can be the issue with the game & they will be able to help you better. If it is same with other apps as well, then you can update the sound drivers
on your system.

To update sound drivers:

• Open device manager by pressing Windows key + X and then clicking on Device manager.
  
• Then double click on Sound and audio devices.
• Under Sound and audio devices, right click on your sound drivers and then click on update.
  
• Select Search automatically for updated driver software.

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

Important: Using Third Party Software or Link, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use
of Third Party Software or Link can be solved. Using Third Party Software or Link is at your own risk.

Hope it helps.

Forza Horizon 4 Doesn't Work

Hi, I just bought the ultimate edition for forza horizon 4, I install it, I launch it, it has a splash screen, and then immediately crashes, seconds later. I uninstalled the game, and reinstalled it, and that didn't fix it. Is there a fix? or can I refund
it? completely unacceptable for a 100$ game to not **** work.
