Audio popping issue

[veeika]

I would avoid using HBAO+ on such a weak GPU, you need a 970 or 1060 6GB at the minimum to maintain 60fps at 1080p with all settings at max.

I do not have it on HBAO+, my graphic settings are generally set on medium. I do not care too much about having 60 fps, as long as it doesn't dip below 25 I'm fine. It might sound like heresy to some, but I don't care that much. That being said, I have tested my game on the lowest possible graphic settings which did get me 50+ fps and the audio issues persisted. It is not connected to this at all. This was also not an issue for me before 6.08, it's why I'm surprised all of a sudden I'm having this problem.

Piggybacking off of stuff some others have mentioned, I experimented with disabling ambient, vfx and others and it did not change anything for me.
