Right-click on it and select Sounds

Step 3

A little window will pop-up. Click on the tab that says Playback.

Step 4

Scroll through the list of playback devices until you find a green check mark on the device that plays audio for the game. Be sure not to confuse this with any microphone or other devices you have connected. Double click on this device and a 2nd pop-up window will open titled [Device name here] Properties. Click on the Advanced tab.

Step 5

Click on the drop down menu under where it says default format. Select 24 bit, 48000 Hz.

Step 6

Click Apply in the bottom right corner and then click OK to close this window. You may also close the Sound window next. Restart Zone of the Enders 2: Mars.



***** Provided these changes have been saved correctly you should now hear normal audio during gameplay if your audio issue was the same one I experienced. This answer is courtesy of Google. I am not an audio expert. I just want the answer on Steam the next time I install this game to remember what to do.

The 16bit 45000hz also seems to fix the crackling audio. I also didn't have a 24bit option

No 24 bit option, only 16 bit. what now?

Thanks for the guide, I wish it worked for me, I have bluetooth earbuds and it won't let me change the format. Very annoying, I was looking forward to playing this game.
