Game runs on about 35-40 frames/second and sound is fine durring trader, but as soon as killing starts the audio becomes unlistenable. It stutters so much that you can't hear anything. It's just stuttering noise that is raping my ears. The game IS playable but sound is just killing me. I don't even know what could be the problem as this doesn't happen in the other games.

I have a similar issue. If im running around on my own the sound is fine but as soon as im near the rest of the squad when everyone is firing my sound goes all distorted and i cant make out a proper sound until the firing dies down.

Any suggestions would be grateful.

I've already tried changing the quality of the sound from sound mixer/properties but it makes no difference either does turning the music off in game.

I have this problem as well sometimes. It usually occurs when there's a lot going on at once.

It makes a horrid BRRKKRRKRKKRKR noise that lasts until the action dies down a bit.

Glad to see I'm not alone, lets hope there's a fix.

Well the stuttering is still kinda there after the patch but less of it. It still happens sometimes but it's way better now than it was before.

I'm still getting it, it seems to happen the most when Sirens are doing what they do.

I had a short game with one friend and things seem fine but I haven't had a full chance to test it.

Turns out I'm still getting it. It happens with Sirens, and e.g. when a door breaks and a support opens up with AA12.

It's very strange, and extremely annoying.

im testing another theory, had a game yesterday afternoon and evening and game today. realised that ive been playing at night with friends ive had Teamspeak on. When i played during today, 1st game no ts on and no sound issues, came out of kf 2 and put teamspeak on and my sound went to hell in a hand basket again.

So just tested again and it seems that teamspeak is making my kf 2 sound problem.

However i changed under capture/playback from "use automatic mode" to "windows audio session" and so far seems good.

will post more if it starts to happen again

Well looks like that didnt work so looks like i'll have to keep looking or just wait til after beta and early access are done to see if it gets sorted out.

I tried reinstalling my audio/video drivers and made sure they were the latest ones, even tried messing around with volume settings as well to no avail.

so options are play with no sound or wait......Think ill leave it and wait for now.

Same issue here. Game runs fine, but I always get terrible audio stuttering during a wave.
