Battlefield 2042: Season 6 - Сrackling sound

Hello everyone! I have a problem with audio in my game. After launching, the sound starts crackling after some time. The issue started after downloading the Season 6 update. I never had such problem...

    Common issue with S6. We think EA Anti Cheat is breaking the ASIO drivers. Most of us are using Focusrite Scarletts, but there has been a couple reports from others too.

    The "workaround" right now is to raise your buffer size to 1024, which is not ideal as it adds a ton of latency to things running through your interface, but otherwise allows you to play fine until they can fix this bug.

    I haven't fully tested a 512 buffer yet, but so far just getting to the menus has worked fine... will test more later.

    Update to this: I went to 256 buffer size tonight and played for about 2-3 hours with no audio issues from either ingoing or outgoing audio.

    So it looks like at least Focusrite Scarletts (or at least my 18i8 Gen 2) set to 256 buffer works for now. I will continue testing lower buffer until the problem happens and report which ones work for me and don't. Next time I can play I'll test 192, the next buffer lower, and see how that works and report back.
