Crackling sound making it unplayable

Hi, I made an EA account JUST to reply to this. I have been having this issue consistently since the game came out. I have tried every single suggested fix I have found and nothing has worked. Patch 2 seems to have made the issue worse. My game is unplayable. I had no idea the EA forums existed or that this is apparently the go-to way to report bugs directly to Bioware/EA- I found it while struggling to find a Bug Report form or email. I have been posting about my issues on the Steam In-game Bugs discussion board without any idea if it's actually reviewed by developers.

I am linking to the thread I made on November 7, which has multiple people since then reporting the same issue:

Here is another thread someone else made that also has 13 posts reporting the same issue:

Here is a video I posted of the exact issue i am experiencing from the very start of the game. Skip to 1:25 minutes in to see how the audio issues start as soon as I leave Character Creation:

The game is unplayable. The audio distortion is so bad and so painful to listen to that I cannot get through the beginning cutscenes at all.

I'm playing a copy on Steam.
