This isn't an issue with low-end systems, minimum hardware requirements or upgrading. It's a software problem with the way the game handles audio. It can theoretically affect anyone, but it disproportionately affects certain hardware configurations, particularly those with AMD FX cpus. We have people in this thread (like the poster right above me) with brand new machines having the bug, and I have even seen people with Playstations complaining of the issue on twitter.
