I have disabled all other playback devices and still have the same issue. Thank you for your input though. I will keep it in mind.

I recently bought a Steelseries Arctis 7 headset and ever since I've started using it the sound from my game cuts out. This only happens with DayZ and no other games I play ( a lot of them). It happens after playing for a few minutes. It makes a pop sound as if I had unplugged a set of headphones and everything goes silent. If I alt+tab back in, my computer sounds are perfectly fine. Eventually after waiting a little bit the sound goes back on again. - All of my audio drivers are up to date. - All of my sound settings in game have not changed other than switching my audio devices to my new headset. - I've never had anything similar to this problem ever with any other of the 3 headsets i've gone through since starting to play DayZ. I've gone to Reddit for help in the past but have never gotten a solid answer and fix. I'm very desperate to get this working because I loved playing DayZ and want to hit 2000 hours. Thank you in advance! Edit / Update: I can't get the sound to work at all anymore. The whole game is just silent no matter what I do in my settings. Edit: I deleted the DirectX folder and reinstalled it and managed to get the game sound back after startup but after 11 minutes my ears popped and the sound was gone again. Another Steam thread said this is a common issue with USB wireless headsets which is exactly what my headset is. I used an audio jack headset in the past.
