After doing some digging, I've discovered a solution that may help people with the same situational problem I was having. This fix is mainly concerned with the game's volume, whereas being below 100% in the in-game audio settings apparently causes unwarranted problems. Before, I had my volume setting at 40% and experienced the audio bug quite frequently along with some distortion issues and extended periods of sound delay. Now that I set the volume to 100% and instead tweaked the volume through the Windows volume control slider, the issue is much less frequent and I can now hear things normally most of the time. There are still times where the sound delays, but with this small configuration it has become a rarity.
Another potential fix, for NVidia Users with ShadowPlay, is to in fact turn off ShadowPlay. I personally haven't tried this myself with having found a solution that works for me. But if the aforementioned fix does not work, then it's worth a shot.
Something this game-breaking should not be included with the in-game sound settings. Perhaps the Apex team and their future updates will add some more polish to the game and make it better. Here's hoping.

Hey, Legends.
There are some really great workaround solutions in here. We'll continue to relay community sentiment to the team and examples of where sound isn't quite right in game, but all the potential fixes you listed here to make the game a more enjoyable experience is super helpful and I wanted to take a moment to thank you.

Thank you again and good luck in Kings Canyon!
