Audio popping issue

[Lagunow]

I see, so the official answer is "just buy a new PC".

Even though there's an ongoing semiconductor shortage and hardware prices are through the roof and we couldn't plan for it in advance because we got NO warning the new audio engine might break on older CPU, and the benchmark ran smoothly with no audio issues at all.

Honestly, I'm not even mad because it's a hardware problem, I think if they were going to do an update to the audio engine that could potentially cause problems with older hardware we should have been warned of this possibility months ago so we could plan for it.

Edit: Also adding that my setup is perfectly capable at running on high(desktop) with 60 fps with no graphic issues at all. It's just the audio that's lagging. There is no way my hardware is below "minimum recommendations". It's just error 2002 all over again, when we were basically told to get better internet.
