Maybe it's Denuvo ruining everything

Same thing here, Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3080. It isn't much, but always happens mid-song where the audio will stutter two to three times in a row, desyncing the song just slightly enough to make it annoying.

Also, stop whining about Denuvo in this topic, thanks. If you don't like it, you don't buy it. We want to raise an issue for it to be fixed.

Everyones favourite bloatware!

One guy made a review saying he changed control panel sound frequency settings to 48000, if not wrong

This doesn't work for everyone, unfortunately. My frequency was already at 48000 and I still experience the issue pretty badly. Even set it to a different option and back: no difference!

... you do realize denuvo is most likely what's causing your issues, right?

Denuvo absolutely murdered the performance of RE8. It's awful to try to have it in games where timing is important.

100% agree. Denovo has been known and proven to cause frame rate / stuttering issues. It is insane to me that sega would implement such drm into a game that relies on completely perfect smooth frames. Let's hope they reconsider after all of the complaints so far.

what's weird about this is i play the game on PC and i get stutters, but i was playing it for about 2 hours on my steam deck and i didn't have a single issue... ???

Maybe difference in how denuvo is implemented on steam deck/linux? Or even shader compilation could be why, since the deck precompiles those at least for some games (which is why the steam deck is capable of playing Elden Ring without stutters when the most expensive PC with 3090Ti with the latest/greatest CPU can't).

A simple and easy proof that it might not be Denuvo, but hey :)

Anyway. Switched to a 48k sound output and all stuttering is gone. The issue was my external sound card, as expected. Thanks for the tip!
Good luck having your voice heard between those ranting about Denuvo, hoping that those who can't get a fix with the sound card can find one soon.

Experiencing this as well, makes playing the game nearly impossible
