Now the question is due I RMA my system (already spoke to PCS about this when I had the first issue, they said it sounded like a dodgy audio port on the MB and it would need replacing, RMA wouldnt be an issue) or just buy a soundcard, which would sort the issue, bar leave me slightly out of pocket. I installed the realtek drivers (due to other sound issues i had removed them and was just using windows drivers which had seemed to fix my previous issue ) and had no complete sound loss or freezes, just the audio cutting out every few mins for a few seconds. So it turns out it is semi hardware related. Tried a google of the issue and although get a load of posts related to game freezing, none of which seem similar to my problem.Īt least the game was only a few notes if it isnt fixable Its getting annoying now as wanted to play through the game and get as many achievements as possible, then mod it up, as it stands I am going to be lucky to even get through the first play through.Įvery other game I have installed and played is fine, so def just GTA related, hoping one of you guys may be able to help. I have tried reinstalling a few times and get exactly the same thing, and have tried on a few different game versions with the same results. I dont lose sound of anything else at the same time (if im listening to music for example the tunes carry on) so its GTA related rather than a hardware issue.
Once the sound has gone I have to ctrl, alt delete to close the program as it just goes to black screen if i choose exit. The actual game (although minus sound) plays fine, I can drive about, kill people, ya know, the normal GTA things to do just cant complete any missions. Im probably about halfway through the story line now and this has been doing it since day 1, but started off at 30 mins+ before it did it, now im lucky if I can pick up a misson before it happens.
It wont allow me to skip through the scene either which is dam annoying. For example waves in the sea still move, birds still move about etc but the actually scene doesnt do anything.
What is random is if something in the scene isnt a major factor in the dialogue it doesnt freeze. I lose all sound in game and once the sound has gone every cut scene just semi freezes. Hey all, as we have a few avid GTA 4 players here just wondered if anyone else had come across this issue.
