  1. PC restarts when playing games, audio drivers break


    Over the past couple days I've been running into an issue where when playing games my pc will randomly restart. When it comes back on, the audio drivers break and my wired headphones are no longer detected. I have to reinstall my audio driver to fix it. I did that just now and it crashed again after 10 minutes. All my parts are brand new with the exception of the hard drive. I also very recently reinstalled windows. I'm also fairly certain it isn't an overheating problem.Ryzen 7 7700XPRO b650-P WIFI32gb DDR5RTX 4070ti850W psu

    The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

    Everyone that post ids, need just do these steps and you will be good. I kinda tired of keep on uploading the inf. file

    1.Go Open up device manager
    2. Go under sound,video, and game controllers
    3. Find Realtek High Definition Audio
    4. Right click and hit update driver
    5. Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    7. Click Have Disk and hit browse
    8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
    9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
    10. Click Next and Yes
    additional if you want dts audio and others, install it now before next step.
    After it is done, restart the PC

    You should be good then and also make sure before doing these steps that you have driver enforcement disabled.

  4. PC restarts when playing games, audio drivers break

    Game Audio

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To better assist you, please answer the following questions:

    1. Does the audio not play while playing the games?

    2. If so, are there any settings within the game to adjust the volume of the game?

    3. Is the issue specific only to these two games?

    As you have tried updating the audio drivers, I would suggest you to try uninstalling the driver and have Windows automatically install the most compatible version of driver by following the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Press Windows key + R

    2. Type devmgmt.msc and press enter.

    3. Expand sound, video and game controllers

    4. Right click on the driver and uninstall it.

    5. Restart the computer.

    Let us know the result.
