    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    You can and that's what I'm doing using an optical cable for sound. The problem is that it's not lossless and doesn't sound as good. Music sounds fine since it's stereo anyway. But games do not sound nearly as good when I manually set the receiver to Dolby. So it's stereo for games. When I...

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    It seems I spoke too soon. The issue started up again after more than a week of things working fine with ARC enabled. Back to using a digital optical cable sending audio to the receiver and HDMI for video straight to my TV. Hopefully AMD will correct the driver at some point, but the optical...

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    I wanted to reply and say that once I set up my TV and receiver to use ARC, the audio issues are completely gone. I have no idea why but it works. If that's not feasible for whatever reason, you can also try using a digital optical cable to your receiver and HDMI to your TV. It's not ideal...

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    I appreciate the reply. I do have 2.1 HDMI already. I will admit it's a 10 ft cable running from the PC to the receiver, though. Maybe this matters, but then how can it be explained that the issue does not occur when running the cable directly to the TV? It also stops being an issue while...

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    I just tried this and you're spot on, that's got to be where the issue is because it goes away while running the render test. I'll report this to AMD. Thanks for signing up and posting this! Even though it's not a fix, it's progress towards one I hope. I've just been using a digital optical...

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    If you're trying to tell me to use a displayport cable, I did try that as well. My receiver doesn't have a displayport in connection, but I have a displayport to HDMI cable, and using it does not fix the issue.

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    I'm using the latest AMD drivers, 25.3.1. AMD Audio driver 10.0.1.38. Windows 10 22H2 update KB5053606 from 3-11-25. Card is showing BIOS 023.008.000.068.00001 in GPU-Z. I attached some GPU-Z and CPU-Z screenshots. Hopefully that covers it. EDIT: I did use DDU to remove all the Nvidia...

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    Yeah Windows 11 was my next idea. I guess I need to do it sometime before October anyway. Hopefully that is the fix. Thanks for the reply. Right now I'm using an optical cable to the receiver and the HDMI to the TV as a workaround. Sound is not as good but at least I don't have to keep...

    Gigabyte 9070 XT audio issues

    Yesterday I installed a Gigabyte 9070 XT Gaming OC. I immediately noticed some problems with audio. I am getting crackling, popping, and skipping anytime I play music or other sounds. Whether it's an MP3 or FLAC music file with VLC or another media player, watching youtube, or if I'm getting...
