Audio drops out entirely throughout entire PC

So when i boot the game, i get maybe 5 seconds where i can hear audio in the main menu before it cuts out my device entirely and not just within battlefield its my ENTIRE PC, all sounds from system and any other apps. I use XLR headphones through a scarlet amp so i think battlefield may be having issues with it as if i switch to my speakers it works just fine and audio comes back but if i switch but it all cuts out again. Ive tried updating drivers and lowering the bitrate through my headphones but the issue prevails

    Having this problem too, Using Scarlet 2i2 4th gen with up to date drivers.
    I saw people having a similar issue 2 years ago but seems like it's back.

    Things I tried but didn't work:
    -Updating drivers
    -Verifying game files
    -Re-installing EA anticheat
    -Messing with windows spatial sound
    -Changing USB ports from 2.0 to 3.2
    -Disabling all other audio playback devices
    -Making sure I'm using 48kHz sample rate
    -Changing "allow exclusive control of this device" setting
    -Changing many ingame audio settings

    Scarlet audio interface, never had any issue before
