Audio cutouts in MSFS 2020 after updating to 24H2

This developed post update to 24H2 and I'm perplexed as this wasn't happening pre since this new build in April. Since 24H2 update a few days ago I have tried installing the latest AMD chipset drivers as well as RealTek's very new drivers that may be related to this 24H2 update. I thought the chipset driver update may have fixed it but alas on my last flight it's back. I also did a clean reinstall of the latest NV driver for my GPU.

Hello @NoelCP and welcome to ElevenForum.

I've given you ten points, just for filling out your computer specs. That's very helpful. ^^



You might try uninstalling the Realtek driver from Device manager, and rebooting, letting Win 11 install a driver.
Check Windows Update too.

Also, you might want to check if others are having audio issues with MSFS.

There's also an MSFS 2024.


I don't have or play MSFS, but I've had no audio issues after updating to 24H2.
And, I do have and play a lot of "old" games. The newest game I have installed at present... is from 2003.

There's also a new version of Visual C++ Runtimes all-in-one installer...
I don't think these have anything to do with audio... but it's a good idea to install them anyway.

Thanks, I have posted this on Avsim as well so hopefully someone will chime in. It must be a driver issue so sure I can try the default driver which I think I already did.

Cheers
