Ill try that aswell. I dont like having my soundcards disabled. Im not too tech savvy so im not sure how that will toll on thr computer

Im using astro a20s and the sound driver from those are my primary. It's kind of odd, after i read your post i swapped usb ports and disabled all other sound drivers besides my mic (astro a20 voice) and headphone (astro a20 game) drivers and it seems to work now, not sure if i can use discord though I'll give it a shot for sure.

I'm not here to shit on EA or Dice, even though they've both dropped on my personal rank-list of good developers.

I've been having a reoccuring issue with Battlefield 5 which after a fresh install, everything works gloriously. Once in, im forced to update. I believe this is where the fuckery comes from.

After updating and playing, everything runs fine. If i close the game and relaunch however, the audio stops working after the start up screen. It will play 5-6 seconds of music then cut out, the weird thing is that discord cuts out too. I was prepared to ignore the no audio and still attempt to enjoy a world war with my friends. Unfortunately since it cuts out all audio, I can't enjoy it at all. Ive reached out on the EA answers HQ and no one from the community will help. I have so much fun when the game runs properly and wish to continue playing. Ive been a huge fan of the series since bad company 2 (was my first battlefield) but after no help from developers or community Im really starting to lose faith in EA and DICE.

So please if anyone here can help, I would appreciate it very much.

Things ive done

-restarted computer

-relaunched game

-verified DirectX

-updated drivers

-reinstalled game (works as long as i dont close out of the game)

-clean booted my pc

-messed with audio settings in astro command

-messed with audio settings in system settings

-updated graphics driver (I began getting desperate)

Please help, calling out to all geniuses and gamers

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Is DA turn based combat? Those are always a turn off for me. Hence why final fantasy isnt on the list. Arcanum looks cool but I'm looking for more of a modern play. Straying away from the over-head rpgs. When i found earthbound it was part of a "Botanical" collection? I also stayed away from Nier: Automona because I was unaware you could customize. Prey looks pretty cool but idk if it has character customization. Ive tried outer worlds but wasnt a fan. Im definitely looking for something more casual. I couldnt find persona 5 on steam so im unsure on that one. Ni No Kuni looks bad ass but is there customization? I'm probably going to begin researching a bunch of theae and see which one fits the bill. Thanks all

Hey everyone I've been looking through and see alot of suggestions for games I've already played, or didnt enjoy.

Im looking for something i can play while my friends arent on to play other games.
