Fix to Alan Wake 2 Audio Issues

If you are playing the game on PC and PlayStation, the easiest way to fix audio issues for Alan Wake 2 is to restart your system, which has been the main solution for players.

As for Xbox, where the audio problems seem more prevalent, the fix relies on the actual Xbox Audio Settings. Head into Xbox Audio Settings from the main home page for your Xbox, and change the settings to Stereo Uncompressed. This should resolve the issue.

Another method to try is to play the game with headphones or switch to the television speakers, depending on which you are currently using. If you use headphones, try your TV speakers, and vice versa.

If the audio issues persist, keep restarting your console until they are fixed. These issues are really rare, and there’s not much more to do at the moment until Remedy Entertainment addresses the problems.
