Audio Stutters In Menu / Globe And On Ground / During Flight

I emphasized the importance of using the correct BIOS and operating system settings - I was not advocating for experimenting with BIOS parameters (i.e., BIOS tweaking), which requires detailed knowledge and can lead to additional issues. Your comment suggest that there might have been a misinterpretation, as we are discussing two entirely different matters: a standard, stable configuration versus advanced, risky BIOS tweaks. I hope this clarifies that I am not promoting excessive BIOS tweaking, but rather ensuring the system is properly configured according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

With all respect sir, you are fundamentally mistaken. While everyone has the right to contribute, that doesn’t mean every contribution has the same value, especially in technical topics. Democracy does not mean we suspend critical thinking or stop challenging misinformation. I’m 50 years old and have spent my entire professional life in IT. And I can honestly say I’ve never seen such a high concentration of technical and logical nonsense as I’ve seen in this forum. If something is incorrect, misleading or harmful, people have full right to speak up.

I think the most logical explanation of the stuttering problem are the streaming latencies, user-specific streaming conditions or bad implementation of the streaming subsystem in general.
But for sure the problem lies with the specific game, not with the system in general. And the same is true for many other bugs affecting this piece of software.

I can only confirm this - as it SBSx9 also says, I wouldn’t go to so much effort. I had a completely different system before and under MSFS 2020 this bug also occurred (unless you have the rolling cache disabled).

It may have something to do with the Win 11 H2 update (but I’m not ready to reinstall my PC) and certainly has something to do with the rolling cache and streaming, so it’s the MSFS.

I even have a different router now (not because of the MSFS) and 150 - 200 Mbit connection and it happens the same way. 7 flights without stutters and and then it starts again.

The only thing that seems to help is to delete the rolling cache and set it to 256 GB. Restart and everything runs like butter (except near LSZH).

Otherwise tried all tips and tricks and also a lot of IT experience. Of course the help is good and trying things out to rule out possible bugs - but all the suggestions didn’t really help in the end!

The rolling cache could play an important role here. I never had it enabled in 2020 and never had this problem there. They need to take a look at this. Perhaps the way in which the data is overwritten is inefficient or faulty, leading to these stutters.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve been trying it for two weeks now and it’s solved the problem 100% for me. Saves me from having to regularly clear the cache. :saluting_face:

What some people are writing here is hair-raising. There should be a way to report such posts as dangerous. Encouraging potentially inexperienced users to mess around with the BIOS, experiment with the device manager, etc., is highly questionable. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the error, which is undoubtedly caused by the game and the rolling cache interface.

Did a flight today departing San Diego and did not have any audio stutters like in the past. And I’m on the latest beta build. Shut down the sim reloaded again did the same flight, this time audio popping and stutters galore.

Been reading though this thread and I found some very useful tips from some users, which if they hadn’t mentioned, I would have overlooked and later been tearing my hair out wondering why things aren’t working.

Then you get other users having a go at them! What’s that all about?

I thought this forum was supposed to be a place where everyone helps each other out!

I’ve mentioned this a long time ago - specifically in post number #21 that rolling cache might be affecting audio stuttering. That was in the context of MSFS 2020, but it could be similar with MSFS 2024. Glad to see someone finally decided to test my theory about the impact of rolling cache on audio stuttering.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try that!

It seems that deleting it before a session was not enough for me, still getting stutters one day and not the next day.

I can experience the issue with all the settings set to medium, but not experiencing it with all settings set to ultra. This is definitely not a hardware issue.

Thank you, you are a genius! :+1: Being able to get rid of RC in 2024 is a huge thing, it makes everything soooo much fluent!

Hi all
Just encountered audio stutters in my current flight when cruising above Germany.

Hello. For me, deseabling the rolling cache by deleting the repertory of the file (0.0 Gb in the settings of MSFS) didn’t work. I also tried to create the rolling cache in memory (I have 64GB RAM) with a virtual Hard drive of 16Go. Thinking it was the speed of Read/Write data of a HDD/SSD thet could slow the simulator and produce sound stuttering. In RAM, it’s pretty fast to write data cahe but still have theses same stutters. Someday it works fine (no stutters) so I was happy to say we got the fix. But the day after, stutters come again. Very frustrating… :frowning:
