Okay, so the other day I was playing Valorant, and I ran into some seriously annoying audio bugs. It totally messed with my game, so I decided to dive in and figure out how to fix it. Here’s what I did:
The Problem Started…
I launched the game as usual, ready to clutch some rounds. But then, I noticed something was off. Sometimes the sound of footsteps was completely missing, other times gunshots were muffled, or the audio cues for abilities were delayed. It was super frustrating because, in a game like Valorant, sound is everything!

Troubleshooting Time
- First, I checked my headset. Made sure it was plugged in properly and that the volume was up. Basic stuff, you know?
- Then, I went into the in-game audio settings. I played around with the different options – master volume, sound effects volume, music volume, everything. No luck.
- Next, I thought maybe it was a driver issue. So, I went to my computer’s device manager and updated my audio drivers. Still nothing.
- I even restarted my computer a couple of times, hoping that would magically fix it. Nope.
Digging Deeper
Feeling a bit stuck, I decided to hit up the internet. I searched for “Valorant audio bugs” and found a bunch of forum posts and Reddit threads with people having similar problems.
After some reading, I found a few potential solutions:
- One suggestion was to disable all other audio devices except for my headset. Apparently, sometimes having multiple audio outputs can confuse the game.
- Another tip was to verify the integrity of the games files,then I launched my Steam to find my game to do that.
Finally the solution:
After I disabled all the other audio devices,then I verifyed the integrity of game files.I restarted my computer and re-launch the * the audio seems no bugs, everything goes well.
It was a bit of a process, but I was so relieved to finally have the audio working correctly. It’s crazy how much a small bug can impact the game experience. Anyway, hopefully, this helps someone else out there who’s dealing with the same frustrating issue!
