Audio popping issue

the fix will also result in reduced cpu temperatures, less spikes to CPU and better performance across all content.

Early testing is extremely promising on my end. No issues whatsoever in the usual spots. I think we should probably wait a day or two for more people to do more testing before saying it's 100% fixed, but so far so good.

Side note, but does the audio actually sound better to anyone else? It might just be placebo from not having played in a month, but I'm surprised at how clear everything sounds and I think I'm noticing more small/ambient sounds in various places.

I'm so extremely happy I could cry. I don't wanna jinx it of course, but I can play with my sound on again!

A side effect of the issues was that sound buffers were not available to play new sounds properly leading to them being dropped or distorted.
