# Audio sounds weird/stuttery (Grim Fandango Remastered)

 Common Issue

## Issue:

*I'm getting weird, crackly or stuttering audio while playing Grim Fandango Remastered on Windows*

## Solution:

###  Windows

This is usually due to some files being missing from some modern installations of Windows which are required for some older DirectX games. In order to sort this out, there is an installer for these files that you can download from this location:

[Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35)

After doing that, things should sound a lot better!
