Q: What might be causing my Starfield audio to cut out?

A: The issue could be due to the game itself, driver problems, or your AV equipment. Determining the source of the problem is essential to address it correctly.

Q: How do I determine if my output device is causing the sound issues?

A: If you're using a TV connected to an A/V receiver, the sound cutting in and out could be an HDMI handshake or HDCP problem. Connect your PC or Xbox directly to your TV or monitor to check. If the sound stabilizes, the issue lies within your A/V setup. A new HDMI cable or removing splitters might be the fix.

Q: How can I identify and resolve driver-related audio problems in Starfield?

A: If you suspect driver issues, test the sound by alternating between HDMI audio and a 3.5mm jack. If the sound is clear with headphones but not HDMI, your GPU driver may be the issue. Ensure it's updated or wait for a newer version. Conversely, if using a sound card or motherboard audio, check the HDMI out for any improvements.
