Game Capture Audio Issue: Choppy, Muffled Audio

Hi Chandy,

Thanks for your response. I will say that you identified my problem partially, but it is not tied just to OBS. Any application (not just OBS) where I can pull from a capture card is giving me bad audio (i.e. Audacity, even Xbox Game Bar). I tried a screen recording from Xbox Game Bar (linked here). I don't think it's possible for me to get a capture card visual, but I was able to set the audio input to the capture card and that is all we're trying to test. Unfortunately, I still got choppy, muffled audio that is dropping every second or so. I'm guessing this suggests that the issue is a Windows driver of some kind that helps the computer run capture cards?

 

Audio Muffle when in voice communication

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that the audio begins to muffle immensely, distort and will constantly change volume levels, while using the game.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

• 
  Which game are you referring to?
  
• 
  Is the issue specific to this game?
  
• 
  Have you installed all pending updates on the pc?
  

Sign out from the current user account, restart the pc and login to the Admin account or the MSA to test if that helps with this issue.

Also suggest you to install any pending Windows updates on the pc to check if that helps.
Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

Further, you may also boot the computer in a clean boot state and check the tool installation status. When you start Microsoft Windows, typically there are several programs that start automatically and run in the background that may interfere
with the system. These programs may include antivirus and system utility programs. When you perform a clean startup procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.

Game sounds are muffled after latest windows update

In windows 10 i had this problem where the game sound used to be low and muffled but a simple fix was to just switch audio to mono and then again stereo and most of the times it would work and the sound would get boosted and become a lot clearer. If i turn off audio enhancements the sound would always be muffled. So i guess it was because of audio enhancements that my game audio was loud and clear.

I updated to windows 11 and nothing changed much. But in the latest quality update the game sound is always muffled and nothing seems to work. I have tried uninstalling the latest update, changing audio drivers, uninstalling and installing audio drivers. Audio enhancement doesn't make any difference. All other audio is okay. Should i roll back to windows 10?
