Hey guys, I don't know if this is where I should be posting this. If it isn't, where should I post it? Also I apologize.

I've been having an issue where my game will hang up temporarily, then come back but without any sound. As you can see in the video I made, the sound comes back if I change my speaker output. Could this be a soundcard issue, Video Card issue, or something else completely?

Things I've tried:

Updating video drivers
Full uninstall/reinstall
Updating my windows
Updating my soundcard (It's onboard, the only one I have.)

If any of you guys have any suggestions as to how I could fix this issue, a thousand PP touches will come your way VIA the internet. Trust me, I'm a wizard.

The video:
Contains normal gameplay, the freezing issue, and the fix. As you can hear in the background my music continues to play and I can hear my friend talking without any issues.

Sadly I do not have any suggestions as sound in source has always been unbelievably lovely and crashy.

Do you have issues in any other games? Could be a power issue, could be a heat issue, could be a bunch of stuff, I highly recommend posting in the Haus of Tech Support sub-forums under serious hardware/software crap, I post in there somewhat often to help ppl and there's a bunch of other dudes that are happy to help, just check the stickied post for the template.

Does the console say anything after this happens? There might be a clue. Some other things you might try are deleting GeForce Experience if you use it and running Steam as Administrator.

Try also writing the command snd_updateaudiocache in console.

I didn't even think about opening console after the error happens. I'm getting the error "Couldn't get sound buffer status". I'm going to google it now and see what I can see. Thanks for the tip!

You're welcome. In my opinion the issue is very likely driver related, although unfortunately it looks like you've gone down that route quite extensively to no avail. You don't happen to be using a USB headset do you? As they are soundcards in themselves, there could be driver incompatibility there you are not considering.

Obviously prevention is better than cure, but the console command "snd_restart 1" will have the same effect as changing from Headphones to Speakers and back again. If you bind that to a key, you'll only need to worry about the little freezes. (Hoping this command isn't banned, it used to be used for an exploit.)

Anecdotal, but I've had numerous people in MM games complaining that their sound dies randomly, and supposedly is the reason they aren't hearing footsteps.

Or, they are just bad and can't hear the hoofbeats clapping against the ground :v:

The ranks don't seem to mean all that much and unless you're playing in a regular stack of people you're performance is probably going to vary wildly especially if you are relying on your team to make good choices.

For example these days t-side soloqueue I find the thing most likely to get rounds on the board is to always attempt to entry frag because the odds of getting 4 guys waiting for someone to do something is not that low. If I don't get the kill they should win the exchange, if they're all walking around waiting for the cts to peek it won't happen and there's every chance my score will bomb. So I start saying he's low when that happens. If they still do nothing well it hasn't happened in a while but the t-side is going to be rough. Anyway in games where that kind of poo poo happens its not that uncommon to see some guy with an awp getting more kills on the board than me but the round is already hosed when he does that so what's the point. Nice things have happened the last while though and people have in general been willing to take fights and call useful info. I've had good times.
