Hi. I love CrewChief - sim racing wouldn’t be the same without this app.
My Razer headset has a built-in “soundcard” that provides a THX spatial audio option. I have no issues with audio when using racing sims, YouTube, etc. CrewChief’s audio, however, does cut out a lot.
A recent example is: CrewChief told me my latest lap time 1:36.660 and followed up with how much my time was off the pace. But, all I actually heard was: “…one…(silence)…off the pace.”
I also remember when Clare told me I was three wide. What I did not hear was that I was clear on the right side.
There are other moments when CrewChief’s audio cuts out. I just don’t have the exact instances noted because it all happens during a race. hehe.
I do hope that CrewChief can be tweaked to work better with THX spatial audio. The rest of the racing sim experience sounds incredibly good, and I’d love to have CrewChief continue to be part of the experience.
Thank you.
P.S.: This weekend, I will try to switch from THX spatial audio to stereo to see if CrewChief’s audio still cuts out. The engine sounds are garbage in comparison to THX; so, I didn’t actually participate in an event with stereo enabled.
Nevermind - disabling Audio Enhancements, in Windows 11, seems to have fixed the issue. :) I still have THX spatial audio quality. Thank you.
