I tried converting the MP3s to .wav files and it didn't work in game. I didn't get any audio coming through the radio at all, huge bummer, I was pretty sure you were on to something with that because I know that was a fix for fallout 3 radio problems, unless I did something wrong but I'm pretty sure I didn't. I would much rather play at 60 fps but I don't mind 30 so much and you're right about getting used to 30 after a while, it takes some getting used to but it isn't bad when you do. I'll follow your advice and set up texture filtering in nvidia control panel. I've tried setting priority to high, didn't do anything, same with full scene reflections.

I've tried finding an update, I'm on version 2.0 and I'm not seeing any updates that are higher than that. I've messed with some settings and turning off threaded audio does help but it causes the old radio stutter that I had before but the radio stutter doesn't become a huge problem until later in the game and I can always toggle it back on. I've also noticed that turning some of the distance settings down helps too. I'm just going to live with this but thanks for the support either way. The only thing I have left to ask is if there are any performance mods you'd recommend?

So I finished the reinstall. I uninstalled all of my mods too and the audio bug still persists. My virus scan came up with nothing. I'm going to check with my friend soon and see what kind of sound card he has. Honestly, I'm not even sure what kind of sound card I have. When I check in device manager and msinfo32 it just says usb audio, high definition audio device, nvidia high definition audio and nvidia virtual audio device (wave extensible) (WDM) so my audio has to all be through nvidia. I don't think I have a seperate pci sound card either, I think it's through my video card, if that's even a thing which it has to be because I don't remember buying or installing a sound card. So I probably have some kind of integrated audio through the motherboard but if I do I don't have any drivers for it and my pc doesn't give me any option of using it. Back before I got this video card I don't remember having any audio issues either so my guess would be the game wants to use my onboard audio for some reason but it can't so it's causing issues. I'll poke around in the INI settings and maybe I can find a fix. But honestly either way, audio bugs can't stop a game like this from being awesome. I've put 900 hours in FNV with lots of sound bugs so it was never that big of a deal in the first place since it's the best fallout game ever made, I was honestly just very curious as to what was causing it and maybe this is it. However I did switch motherboards at one point so I don't know how the game would react to using onboard audio for this motherboard specifically because when I was referencing back when I didn't have audio problems I was on a completely different motherboard.

Interesting signature, we all have problems but some of us get unlucky and get stuck with the really shitty ones, I know what it's like, well not really but sorta, I struggle with severe anxiety and plenty of other issues, you have my sympathy. =( Anyways that is a lot of variables. I'm doing a fresh reinstall of the game now to see if it'll do anything. I'm not sure if it is a sound card compatibility error, I've had audio stuttering/cutting out in only one other game AC4 so it isn't a widespread issue. I know for sure I use nvidia HD audio. I'm not thinking it's a virus but anything is possible and I know it isn't my cpu and gpu getting hot because I monitor temperatures all the time with Afterburner, cpu-z and speedfan and it never gets too hot unless I'm playing very demanding games. I'm going to wait till tomorrow, keep the game install running and run a virus scan just in case. Hopefully the solution is an easy one that I've missed this whole time.

Well, you are right that turning mods on and off is something I do a lot and it isn't good for save files, I've had save files go completely bad before, it is something I'm very reckless about and should get better at but I don't believe this is where the audio problems come from. I've turned off all of my mods before, made brand new saves and still had the audio problems persist. Perhaps a complete uninstall/reinstall is needed here, I'll give it a try tonight and report back tomorrow.

Funny you mention multi thread audio, I used to have a lot of problems in game regarding audio that multi threading fixed when I toggled it on, I was having radio and ambient music stuttering when I would leave a house to load into the open world or when I would hack hard terminals. I've tried toggling mutli threaded audio off and it didn't fix the footsteps and gunshots. I have the stutter remover but I don't have 4gb so I'll give that a shot and I'll try fnvedit and Loot. When it comes to oblivion, fo3 and skyrim, yeah I've modded them without too many problems with audio, fallout 3 had a few audio problems but not much, didn't have any audio bugs with the TES games. My hardware, GTX 660 2gb, 8 gb DDR3 ram, amd athlon II x4 651 quad core cpu 2.99 GHz, 1 terabyte HDD and (motherboard) MSI A55M-P33 (MS-7786). I'll update my post with a screenshot of my load order in a few minutes. EDIT Here you go http://i.imgur.com/tfzbZEt.png and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDdpkg_0FL0&feature=youtu.be

It's weird, it happens in certain areas like on the highway out near goodsprings or camp forlorn hope as well as several other places. It tends to happen when loading in or loading out of an area with a lot of people and it never happens indoors, always in the open world. I'll notice sometimes when I run around and I'll jump in the air and when I land the landing sound is delayed a bit, I don't know, it isn't the biggest issue in the world and it's nowhere near game breaking but my friend and I both get this issue and I was curious if anyone else gets it or has a fix for it. Oh and by the way, before anyone asks, yes I have tried uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs and it didn't do anything for me can't speak for my friend though. EDIT wow, I'm so sorry I totally screwed up, can a mod move me to new vegas technical support or can I keep the thread here?
