Although most PCs these days come well-equipped to handle high frame rate video games and immersive sound, many video game lovers want more. To enhance the audio experience, many players use a sound card or an external DAC. Now, it happens so that only players using an external DAC encountered a black screen on launching Tales of Arise. A Steam user, spratt brattler, came up with a solution to this issue. To fix the issue, you will have to lower your audio bitrate. If your audio bitrate is set too high, the full-motion video will not play and show a black screen. The user set the bitrate to 96k and tested the game; the black screen issue was gone. Many players were surprised that their DAC was causing this issue.
LOL couldn’t have guessed, I also run a DAC.
We hope we were able to solve the issue you were facing. Stay tuned for more such updates!
