Ever since the most recent patch I've been encountering a random audio bug. All audio from the game just mutes itself, or bugs out and stops playing. Sometimes it drops out completely, other times it cuts out and in over and over in varying durations of time.

All other system sounds work. I can tab out and hear sound from anything else. I can have youtube or music running in the background with the game full screen and get sounds from those sources, but the game itself no longer plays sound until the game is exited and restarted.

It is a random occurrence, and as such it is very hard to replicate on my end. It just happens when it feels like it apparently. I have noticed however it tends to happen in dungeons, not in the game world.

EDIT I have decided I'm going to reformat my PC and also upgrade to windows 8.1 for other reasons. I'll report back if I encounter this issue again.
