Audio stutters, losing audio on Discord
Coming back from around a years break off of BF2042, I was met with constant horrible audio stutters/freezes/cutouts with CPU usage down to around 40-50% with occasional spikes using a user.cfg. Discord loses audio launching the game when I assume EA AC does some sort of loading or checks and later on loses audio in match every few seconds when a stutter happens, forcing me to constantly refresh my audio devices in Discord settings. Audio stutters still persist even without any background applications like Discord running.
This also happens in BFV when launched through Steam, 2042 is also launched through Steam and interestingly BF1 which is launched only through the EA app does not suffer the same issues. Also only BFV and BF2042 are on the EA AC installer while BF1 is not, so could BF1 possibly have a different version of EA AC that isn't broken in this way?
