Audio and music looping endlessly

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug
1

  • Game Version: Release version

  • Build Number: Release version

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

The game launches fine but whenever I enter a tutorial or campaign scenario the audio loops continuously. E.g. the narrator will speak but the first line of her audio just repeats until the next audio clip launches (e.g. when I click on something else). That audio then loops endlessly also. This happens to the background music too, and when I go back from the game to main menu the music starts repeating there also. Haven’t seen any other reports of this issue. Have tried to change my audio device, disabling mic, turning off dolby atmos, toggling sound on and off in menu etc but nothing seems to work. Currently unplayable for me unfortunately.

Trigger Event:

Starting a scenario. Seems possibly related to my mouse movement/clicks - if I don’t touch anything the audio plays ok but as soon as I interact with something with my mouse whatever audio is playing will just start looping on and on

Repro Steps:

  1. Launch game
  2. Enter tutorial
  3. Move mouse/click a unit
  4. Audio of narrator loops until their next line starts
