Skyrim Music and Effects Crackling

[459pm]

Alright, my problem is that when I play skyrim the music will sometimes cut out and stop playing for like one fourth of a second. Not normal a huge deal, but it happens like every 3 seconds. During that time all sound on the game also cuts out. This is my load order:

I have also disabled Vsync in the skyrimpref.ini file to enhance FPS, and I'm using SKSE with ATTKNS powerloader. I'm running the game with razer game booster as well. Does anyone els have a solution to this problem? Because it kinda ruins the whole sound of the game. Do you think Vsync could have something to do with it? Or Fantasy Music Overhaul?

[459pm]

I also have my sound set on 16 bit 44100 Hz CD quality, and I've reinstalled sound codek and driver. No luck.

Have you tried any other sound card settings?

Also, do you hear the crackling both with speakers and earphones?

Also have you tried without the game booster, just on the chance that it is disabling a process that affects the sound?

Does this all happen if Fantasy Music Overhaul.esp is unchecked/disabled? Could be your PC not like the compression.

Has anyone figured out the issue, yet? I'm having the same problems. I've tried disabling EVERY mod, anti-virus, and firewall. I've tried different audio settings in the control panel with no luck. It seems that the game sounds great from the start until 10 or so minutes into the game, then the master audio cuts out, only for a 1/4 sec. Continuing to play the game will cause the audio glitch to cut out more and more until it cuts out completely. Yes. Mine finally got so bad, it just stopped playback all together. I'm using an external audio interface, Presonus Firestudio 2626 connected via firewire, with updated drivers and firmware.\

Ya I know your issue, your mods are too much burden on your game.

your literally hitting or surpassing the limits. I'm surpirsed your not complaining of CtDs instead.

 

Get Fraps Google it. Run that in the background, it'll score your frames per second in the corner.

 

Stable FPS is 45 under stress. Mess with that and your bound to gett issues.

 

Win 7 is using more RAM than you really have to spare.

With 6 Ram your likely only actually getting between 2 and 3 Ram to run your game.

When you see more critters on screen your Ram processes their inherent Game Engine actions.

The hard Drive which you didn't list is reponsible for handleing Papyrus and Giveing the right textues to the GPU. Which is your strongest component you have.

 

Your first best bet is trimming back

Using a Optimizer Textures

Tweaking the INI

Changing video settings

Cleaning your mods with Tes5Edit

Update your Video Driver

Try the game without any mods

Hand Clean your Skyrim Folders (get rid of useless readme's and pictures)

 

Go Get 8 more Ram seroiusly. Make sure it's Gaming Ram

Go get a fast Read Write Hard Drive. Solid States are pro gaming.

Last thing you should even think of is the V Card.
