The Finals has a great visuals, though sound can be problematic at times. If you are experiencing audio bugs in this game, we have some interesting information for you.
In PvP games every advantage that you might get over your enemies can be measured its weight in gold. Sometimes quite literally, as eliminating your opponents in The Finals causes them to burst out in gold coins. To be the best, you have to utilise all your senses. Obviously, your sight is the most important one, though audio cues can be invaluable to give you an edge over your foes. Unfortunately, a group of players have noticed that there is something not right with the audio system in The Finals, as it can bug out and not work properly. If you are also experiencing sound related issues in this title, here you will learn how to deal with it.
Audio bug fix in The Finals
So far, on the Steam Community Forum, some players have reported that there are two variations of audio bug in The Finals. The first one causes the sound to disappear completely after some playtime, while the other makes a static noise appear. So, what gives?
Some people point out that it can be caused by Unreal Engine 5, which the game is built on, in connection with DirectX 12. This has already proven to be an issue with other error related to “out of video memory” message, that we have covered here. However, in this case the situation might be more complicated and there can be something else spoiling the fun. The real question though is if anything can be done about it? It turns out that yes.
Fans, as usual, without waiting for an official response from Embark Studios, started to look for a workaround on their own and currently, there are 3 workarounds possible:
- Change audio settings in Windows to 2 channels, 24-bit 44100Hz (studio Quality),
- Restart Windows audio service,
- Plug your device input to a different port in the computer.
Keep in mind that the root cause of this problem is still unknown, so there is no guarantee that it will work for you. It is still worth a try!
The sound problems in The Finals have been known since it was still in closed beta stage. We would expect the developers to fix it, though as it hasn’t been addressed for such a long time, it would be better to try to find a solution on our own, than patiently waiting for an official patch. Raising more tickets to the game’s official player support can expedite the studio’s work on this matter.
