I started up the game and everything seemed fine but as soon as anyone started talking the audio began to stutter every time a text box was about to appear. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out how to solve it?

I'm having the same issue. Any resolution?

I haven't had this issue. It'd help to post your PC specs, maybe a DxDiag.txt file, and your DirectX wrapper settings.

In the main menu of the game if you swap the sound from "Stereo" to "Mono" it will stop stuttering when textboxes appear. The audio seems to still be in stereo as well so this just seems completely bugged.

This worked for me! I was out all day and was going to try that already just to see but your post really helped me out. Thanks!

Cheers! This worked very well.

Unfortunately Mono didn't help for me. As soon as I go to start the game up, it is constantly stuttering on the audio during the opening cutscene and at game start. I haven't even made it past the initial conversation between Nina and Cray at the vert beginning because of how distracting it is

I put in a ticket with GoG on Friday. They acknowledged the workaround, but do not have an ETA for a fix.

Minutes after typing this they put out a new hotfix with audio panning fixes. Maybe they fixed it...
