rorythepsychic As you can probably see, this is a crash of the Realtek audio driver. That doesn't necessarily mean the driver itself is the issue—it could be some other software interacting with it. So please test by disconnecting all sound devices (headphones, speakers), restarting your computer, and trying again to play. I realize this isn't how you'd want to play normally, but it's a useful test.
If the game crashes with no sound devices connected, try uninstalling the Realtek driver and reinstalling the newest one available for your motherboard. Find your exact model board, google "[board model] drivers," and look for a support page from the manufacturer. Download the newest Realtak audio driver, and take your computer offline.
Click Windows key-X, choose the Device Manager, expand the Audio section, click the Realtek entry, and uninstall. Check the Sound section too. You don't need to uninstall any other drivers, at least not yet. Install the driver you downloaded, restart your computer, go back online, and test the game, still with no other sound devices connected.

I tried all of this and the game crashed without crashing the PC once, then crashed the PC again the second time.
