Yep, it seems to be working. I only changed the sampling rate, from 48 to 44.1 KHz, leaving the Bit Depth at 24. Cheers for the solution and happy blasting!
FYI to others, manually messing around with my audio settings in Sound>(Find Headset, Right Click, Properties)>Advanced Tab does seem to have fixed most of the problem for me. However, in my case I went -up- from 41 to 48hz, not in the reverse order like others in this thread did. Mind you, I still have some audio crackling here and there, but it's not as bad as it was and, most importantly, the constant popping is gone now.
I would recommend to anyone having this issue to tinker with these settings ^^^^ and see if that helps until this is presumably patched.
I'm experiencing the same issue: the audio sometimes stutters, but the most recurrent problem is the sound effects going off completely on almost every map load. The only sounds remaining are those of the buttons on the menus. I don't want to relaunch the game everytime the map has to change, and the sound and music are a very important feature of this game. This happens on every mode and I did not have this problem during beta.
I've tried every solution on this thread, tinkered with all the audio qualities and playback options on windows, to no avail. It's very frustrating and more than a reason for a refund.
