PC: Audio Glitches making game uplayable
Hey folks, Let me explain my issue and the steps I have taken to try and correct it. It is somewhat unique I think and it's hard to google due to the nature of it. PC Specs: Windows 8.1 x64 Pr...

Thanks for the suggestion, though had done that already. Do appreciate any suggestions though even if they do not solve the problem.
Anyone else have any ideas?
If this was any other game I would just put it aside and try again in 6 months after some patches etc. But this is DAI, been waiting for this and Witcher 3 for years, being unable to play it due to this bug is really dissapointing =(
Throwing in the towel,
Just purchased a brand new sound blaster z card and a new 7.1 speaker set and guess what. Issue is 100% the same. I have no idea what to do now, besides building a new pc tower for an estimated 2500 bucks which i absolutely do not have.
I concede, this one has me beat.
One more thing to add,
The audio issue is tied directly to performance. Lowering your graphic settings does make the issue occur less and less. That being said, even the lowest possible settings will not cure it. Just make it happen a whole lot less. Unfortunately, if it happens at all it's too much. This issue is truly gameplay ruining (at least for me).
Someone made a youtube video showing the issue so it can be easily understood. Since this is a problem that is hard to convey using worded description, in this video you can actually observe the problem occuring.
Listen to the wind sound, you can still hear music playing even when this sound cuts out.

A great many thanks to xRydis for providing this video to demonstrate the issue for everyone to properly understand.
Side note: While this video does demonstrate the problem, it does not demonstrate how severe the problem actually gets in game. You may think to yourselves "Wow thats really not that bad, there are much bigger issues to worry about than this." I assure you, the video demonstrates only the very minimal of effects the problem actually has. It is very rarely that discreet. Normally it is outright game breaking and overwhelming. I also suspect that every time the audio glitches it effects game performance as well thus further adding to the issue. So please do not assume that because that video displays the problem in a subtle manner that it properly represents the issue. It does not, but it does however allow people to see (hear) the problem in which we seek assistance.
