Deadlock.exe hangs after removal of 3.5mm plug from motherboard back panel audio jack - Reproducible

Steps To Reproduce:
1) Ensure microphone is plugged into 3.5mm mic jack at the back of motherboard, then launch Deadlock.
2) Whilst in lobby (hideout, no games pending) enter the Settings menu -> Audio -> Voice (settings as listed below) -> Confirm that the reactive mic input bar is picking up noise.
3) Disconnect 3.5mm plug from microphone jack.

Outcome: Deadlock hangs indefinitely and displays "Deadlock (Not Responding)" as the window name in the applications' top bar. Requires force shutdown and relaunch to resolve.
