In-Game sound issues

When I'm playing Garden Warfare 2, the sound will sometimes cut out randomly. Everything will be playing fine, but then one of the sounds will randomly stop playing, like the background music, or the sound of my gun firing. It's usually starts out with specifically one sound, before more and more different sounds stop playing, until the game is practically silent. Sometimes, I will hear the beginning of a sound effect or background music, but it quickly stops. This happens the most when I'm playing on the last level of Great White North Night or Zombopolis, where the Yeti and Zombot are. I've tried restarting the game, but the problem quickly comes back, and won't go away until the computer has been off and I haven't been playing the game for about half a day.

I run GW2 on my laptop, a Dell XPS-L502X. I do think the problem comes from the strength of my computer, as it is very old, the hard drive is working slower, and the graphics card is just a GeForce GT 540M. (I run the game at minimum settings and get a consistent 30fps.) I've tried verifying the files before, and it hasn't worked. I would like to know if this is a fixable problem, or is it just my computer being slow and I'll have to live with it?

    @Mounjee If you think that it is your computer then you could try lowering your settings to see if it helps.

    As I said before, I have already lowered the settings drastically to keep the game running well. It probably is the right idea, but the problem shows up even at minimal settings.

    @Mounjee Your GPU is below the minimum required for the game to run so even with all settings on low you will most likely see issues.
