UE 5.5 Crash xaudio2_9

Hi there,

Seemingly out of nowhere my project is constantly crashing every time I exit out of the game. The project is fine launching and all the levels load ok, but as soon as I exit it crashes.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the engine but still happens

This is the crash report I’m getting back, any help would be immensely appreciated

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000008

Maybe a temporary fix but I’ve stopped the crashing if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I uninstalled Armory

  • edit

It was temporary alright, its gone back to crashing giving the same crash report

  • Second Edit

So the culprit may have been the audio mixer sample rate setting in the Platforms - windows, i changed it back to 44100
