Audio Issues Apex Legends

I've been having this frustrating issue for 3 weeks now. It renders the game nearly unplayable, the player not able to effectively operate in their surroundings when most of the auditory feedback is muted and delayed. Essentially, during almost every gunfight, my audio cuts out with small sound bits indiscriminately being emitted. Whether I win the fight or not due to this hindrance, the audio eventually catches up minutes later in one loud jumble of mess. This issue has cost me many kills, fights, and wins, and is incredibly infuriating when you're trying to enjoy the thrill of a hectic situation.

I've tried reinstalling my Realtek HD Audio Drivers, reinstalling Origins and Apex Legends, repairing the game, moving my USB headset into different ports, and constantly tweaking game, sound, and Windows settings to no avail. The developer team has time to add a completely useless weapon, but can't look into this huge problem?
