Tried that. Went out and bought a USB headset thinking my integrated sound card was just acting up. Still same thing. I can turn every sound effect off except "Sound Effects" and it still cuts in and out. No other sound is affected other than effects. Only happens when there's alot of sounds trying to play at once. Uninstall/reinstalled the entire game (took about 2 hours of downloading). Setting character limit from Maximum to Minimum helped a tiny bit, still cuts in and out. If I craft alone by my house it's fine. I also made sure all of my windows updates were current, no change. As the USB headset I'm using uses an external sound card I'm starting to doubt that its actually hardware/driver related.
