(PC) Can't hear footsteps.

So I've seen this issue being reported all over the place and I started experiencing it myself after the first Apex update arrived about a week ago .. 

Playing the game and every now and again I would notice the sound of my own footsteps and enemy footsteps would disappear, but then seconds later the audio would "catch up" and it would all happen at once. Then it started happening with every sound effect... Gun fire, doors opening and closing, legend quips, narrator voice etc. It was game breaking for me. Super frustrating.

Then I saw a dude on Reddit (shoutout to that dude  I'll update when I lookup his name later) said the he solved it by uninstalling from his solid state drive and reinstalled on his HDD. I'm happy to report, it also worked for me! If you are on PC (or console with a HDD attached) try this method and see if it helps. I hope it works for you because now the game is payable for me. 

Good luck
