Ever since starting the Maw quest line, my sound has been cutting in and out. Ive dropped the channels down, made sure my drivers are up to date, and restarted the game. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
I’m having the same issue.
Im having the same issue and its annoying to say the least. Not only is the sound dropping in and out randomly but suddenly all the audio clips will play over the top of each other (like dialog and spell sounds).
The speech bubbles pop up and then go away like 3-5 seconds before the audio clip starts for dialog. Then it gets cut off about half way since the next part of the speech is starting to play.

I also got this but it disconnected me after getting stuck right before the Maw quest line started. Now I cannot log back on at the moment.
I am noticing in Bastion that the volume is just all over the place. Some sounds of NPCs talking and some mounts will be super loud. When I come back to any other expansion zones it goes back to normal- although very loud.
There were a lot of issues in BfA zones where the audio just clipped depending on where you were- caves especially. Music/Ambience and then instant hard silence when you go into many of the smaller caves.
I suspect it is a result of audio not being normalized properly. This is recurring for me on 3 different audio devices on two accounts.
I’ve noticed something similar on and off since prepatch. It mostly affects quest dialogue. E.g. when a NPC speaks and speech bubbles appear but there is no audio at first. Usually a few seconds after the speech bubble goes away the audio kicks in, then if there’s more than one speech bubble it runs into the next audio clip. This stops the first clip and starts the next (or last in a line).
Another similar bug had also been happening where what would otherwise seem like general lag if not for everything else other than audio is fine. Basically all sound, music, voices go out then rush back all at once after a good period of time. This usually happens in combat, but hasn’t happened for a while. Unlike the quest audio bug that I am currently having with current shadowlands intro quests.
This is exactly what is happening to me. It isnt happening quite as often now, but everyone once in a while the NPC dialogue will lag, or the sound itself will. Its not gamebreaking, but its really annoying
I am having the same issue, I would also like to add that my discord cuts out too, I have to reconnect. That interferes with pvp and needs to be fixed asap pls.
NPC dialog cuts out between speakers … which is a royal pain at the start of an expansion heavy on lore/exposition. Dialog will come though in bursts and overlap, or not at all.
Spell audio ends up a in incoherent rumble when there is a lot going on, I at least expect to hear the audio from my own spells … which I don’t.
I have tried updating audio drivers from Mb website (gigabyte x570) & adjusting the number of active audio channels & buffer size with no joy.
I am not having audio issues of any kind when WoW is not running.
