Sound will cut out at random , which leads to a freeze, and crash. Never happened before newest penance update

have you tried this yet? (long thread so perhaps I’ve already asked)

direct_storage = {
    enabled = true
    disable_bypass_io = true
    force_file_buffering = true
    force_mapping_layer = false
}

By enabling force_file_buffering you might get same behaviour as before direct storage. The recommendation is to have it off for SSD’s but this should make the file read more similar to the legacy file reader which likely worked better for you of some reason.

I’m pushing for getting this in the launcher, but I don’t think it’s been added yet since you shouldn’t touch these settings unless you have issues with it.
