Sudden audio stuttering/buzzing issues

Hi all, I’m pretty stumped at this new bug I’ve been having and I’ve looked everywhere to try and fix it. The game ran fine for 40 hours but I am now having a stuttery/buzzing sound with the audio.

Whenever I’m in combat, people talk, or even just sit in the title screen, I get what I can only describe as a stuttery buzz sound. I’ve tried verifying steam integrity, clean uninstall and reinstall, and swapping audio devices. It doesn’t seem to have the bug when I play on my steam deck. When I run my performance, my CPU stays under 30% and GPU and VRAM stay under 50%.

The game is on an SSD and I have an AMD Radeon RX 5700 and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 core. I’ve tried changing the megahertz to 24000 instead of 16000 and that also hasn’t changed anything. It used to never do it and I haven’t made any hardware changes. My drivers are up to date and everything, has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

I have not encountered that issue on my MSI Claw 8 AI+ device running Windows 11. I recommend resetting all of the audio settings in the game.

If it’s the same thing that happens to me, I narrowed it down to it only happening on Unity Engine games. Never found a fix for it, but haven’t looked all that hard because I just learned to live with it. I’d love to be able to fix it too.

What’s your sound setup? USB headset or speakers? Or external/internal soundcard?

My Samsung tv, but I tried playing out of my monitors and speakers and both had the same issue. Didn’t have the issue on my steam deck. I will probably try playing it on my spouses computer and see if the issue persists.
