I get a very inconsistent audio shudder accompanied by a very brief frame stutter. It's short enough that it doesn't actually interrupt the gameplay, it's just very jarring in the middle of combat mechanics. I have an RTX 3090 on Windows 11 and my drivers are kept up to date. It seems to occur quite randomly with no apparent place or activity linked to it. I tried reducing my sound quality in Windows to CD Quality (down from Studio Quality) and it felt like it happened considerably less. However it's been an inconsistent issue to begin with, so it's hard to say if there's any actual impact. When my audio is set to Dolby Atmos (I have an 11.1 setup), the same behavior happens, except instead of the audio shuddering, it just briefly drops out entirely and comes back.

I haven't encountered this in any other games and it didn't start until sometime around 6.1. The game runs smoothly otherwise with no performance issues or frame drops. It's just these audio blips.
