Fix: Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Audio Not Working or Crackling Sound Issue

Affected players did report on Reddit that while playing on the console, the headset turned on but they barely hear anything else. It seems like everything gets muffled and mixed with lower volume. It basically ruins the gameplay experience and nothing else. Whereas some players have also mentioned that there is no issue with the headphones except for speakers.

1. Repair Game Files

First of all, you should try repairing the game files in the Steam client to check whether the problem has been fixed or not. Sometimes having some issues with the corrupted or missing game files can be there. To do so:

Open up Steam > Go to Library.
Right-click on the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga game.
Click on Properties > Go to the Local Files tab.
Select Verify Integrity of Game Files…
This process will start verifying and it may take some time to be completed.
Once done, close the Steam client, and restart your computer to apply changes.

2. Disable Nahimic Audio Driver

Nahimic is an Audio Driver that your PC manufacturer selected to give you an optimized audio experience on laptops, motherboards, and more. It is a trusted driver designed to optimize and tune the audio performance on your computer.

You’ll have to go to Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) then head over to Startup.
Now, disable the Nahimic audio driver from the list.
Finally, restart the computer to check whether the problem has been fixed or not.

3. Update Audio Drivers

It’s worth mentioning that Realtek Audio Driver users can simply head over to this article link to easily download and install the latest version of the audio driver for your specific motherboard or laptop model.

Once done, make sure to reboot the system to apply changes.

Press the Windows + X keys to open the Quick Link Menu.
Now, click on Device Manager to open it > Double-click on Sound, video, and game controllers.
Right-click on the active or problematic audio device > Select Uninstall device.
Click on Uninstall again to confirm the task > Wait for the process to be completed.
Once done, make sure to restart your computer to apply changes.
After the reboot, the Windows system will automatically reinstall the missing audio driver or audio device (if connected).

However, if it doesn’t get installed by the system automatically then make sure to note down the computer model number or the motherboard model number and directly visit the official manufacturer’s website to download & install the latest audio driver.

Now, go to the specific directory – username\documents\Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga\settings and delete the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga config file.
Once done, reboot your PC to apply changes.

6. Check Wires of Audio Output

Make sure to check out the audio output device and wires whether they’re properly connected & plugged into the valid port or not. It’s quite a simple thing yet effective because sometimes users may forget or do mistakes a lot.

7. Disconnect Other Peripherals

It’s also worth mentioning to disconnect other peripherals to check for the issue again. Just try using a minimum number of external USB devices to ensure what’s actually causing the issue.

8. Test Out Other Speakers or Headsets

Make sure to test out other speakers or headsets with your computer while playing the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga game to check if there is an issue with your existing speaker or headset.

Click on the Start menu > Go to Settings > Click on System.
Now, click on Sound > Select Related settings.
Go to Sound Control Panel and select a playback device.
Next, select Properties > Select Spatial sound.
In the Spatial Sound format, select Windows Sonic for Headphones.
