Bizzare audio glitching (has been happening a while but finally caught it)

[♥ SillySnark ♥]

This has been happening since way way WAYYYY before the big update. Sometimes it used to happen randomly whilst I was in the menu or booting up the game.

But occasionally it happens mid game and it makes the game absolutely awful to play. It will stay like this once it's happened. Restarting the game doesn't fix it and I have to restart my whole PC.

This is the only game or program where this happens. This audio bug is only in-game and doesn't carry over anywhere else. I have absolutely no idea what causes it.

Match ID where I caught it happen: 40032916

See clip below (apologies for mic audio)

ok so bump/update

ive got it to be replicated where if i disconnect from a discord call OR someone in a call with me disconnects it bugs out the audio. that's the only thing i can figure out that triggers it, but i can swear it's happened randomly other times too.

bumping this as it still happens.
it only ever seems to happen with the discord thing. no clue why, no other game or program does it :/
