BF1 sound problem

I have recently purchased Battlefield 1 and since I installed it I have had problems with sound. Basically when I am playing various sounds get interrupted by some other one instead of that other one overlaying it, for example when I shoot the sound of the shot will be interrupted by the sound of the hit, or when someone is talking in the game it will just stop any other sound, cutscenes and menu music work just fine, and music during the game is not interrupted and just plays in the background, but any "ambient" sound will get interrupted by the sound that happened after it and it will just stop no matter if that sound happened 0.001 seconds later or 10 seconds later ,it will get interrupted. I have tried every AUDIO option there is in game to try to fix it, I have updated my sound drives and did what I could have find online but most people that have similar or same problem as me overclocked either GPU or CPU and I have no overclocking active. The game runs flawlessly except for that, no in-game stutters or lags just that. But for example some sounds dont even exist, suppressed weapons produce no sound at all (they should low sound of suppressed gun fire but it is literally nothing).
So... any ideas?

    Strange, for some reason I didn't even have Realtek drivers installed on my PC, it was using Nvidia Sound driver instead.
    But I installed Realtek HD Audio Driver and the problem is fixed.
    Thanks for your help.

    Glad to hear everything else is smooth outside of the audio trouble you're having. Have you tried right-clicking on the game in Origin and selecting "Repair" yet or reinstalled the game? It's possible there are some corrupted files.

    - Right-click on the sound icon in the bottom right corner of your taskbar and select "Troubleshoot Sound Problems."

    - Right-click in the same area and select "Sounds" to see what playback device you have selected.

    - Unplug the headphones and re-insert them.

    Yeah I have tried to reinstall and repair the game, also tried to troubleshoot sound problems but still the problem appears. Every other game audio works fine, or any other audio I play on PC. I have Star Wars Battlefront and the sound works just fine. For some reason in Campaign the sound problem is worse than in Multiplayer, but in Campaign cutscenes work perfectly with no problems, it is just the ambient battle sounds that seem to have the problem. For example if I shoot in the air the sound of fire will be fine, but if I shoot in the ground the sound of fire will be interrupted by the sound of ground hit, or if someone starts talking at that moment it will be interrupted. 
    I tried to see if it is the problem with headphones so I played it on speakers but the problem was still there. But again, other games work just fine whether it is Origin game or some other the problem is not present, just BF1 for some unknown reason.

    Since this thread is quite a few years old I'm going to lock it to prevent further "necros".
