xAudio2_7.dll crashing my game after 15 minutes - solved-

[Redflyingmonkey]

Hi. So this is an old issue, caused by whatever fucked up windows 10 process calls to xAudio2_7 during my gameplay, conflicting with Skyrim as it uses the same audio .dll, and crashing the game. Most solutions I found were to delete that file, relocate/rename it, or use xAudio2_8 or 2_9 in it's place. The problem is : all of those "solutions" only completely break the sound in SSE. I looked and looked for another answer, but no dice. Posting this here just in case someone had the same problem and solved it. 

 

Ps : I've killed most Windows 10 processes, didn't help  (including the TabTip.exe most people with this issue said was the main culprit).

Another solution is to run SERVICES, and stop the Touch screen typing program:
Press Win + R, type 'services.msc', press Enter
Find 'Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service', and double tap/click it
Click Stop
Select 'disabled' at 'Startup type'

This program has a 15 minute timer and it quits XAUDIO2_7.dll for some reason 15 minutes into a game, causing your game to crash. Unless you have a touch screen and use it for typing, you can permanently turn it off using the above steps. Worked for me.

Looks like lost of bloatware can crash that xAudio thing

Another think I remembered. You sound settings in Windows. Some game don't like it if its, how to say, above average. 24bit, 480000Hz. Something in that direction.
