[Wii U] Need for Speed Most Wanted U Crashing

I have experienced several audio hard locks with the game. It has happened randomly in various instances, but the one common theme is that the audio begins to squeal and the system hard locks. I have to unplug to restart. I do have it connected to Origin (I also own the PC version of the game, no issues there) via autolog.

Any suggestions on how to fix this Wii U glitch? I have updated the game to version 1.1.0.

    I am not sure if you have seen the sticky message so I will quote the post below but it seems to be a different issue.

    You can still try to see if a system update is needed on the console:

      There is a known issue that can cause the game to lockup when the display output is set to 576i and the ‘home’ button is pressed.
      To fix this issue please download the latest firmware updates available for Wii U ™ or select a lower resolution.

    To learn more about the Wii U ™ system updates, visit the Nintendo web site:

    I'm having the same problem. Keeps freezing mid game with the squeeling audio and I have to pull the plug. But it hasn't ever froze when I hit the home button.
