Sims Voice Audio Lagging & Repeating

I've noticed this since I started playing the Sims 4 again on Monday (after a break). I think it's from a new update. Quite often now, when my sims talk, the voice audio gets broken and/or bits get repeated.

I've tested this with my mods and cc disabled, with a different audio device and after repairing the game on the EA app. Nothing fixed it.

My laptop is well above the required specs for Sims 4, and I've never experienced this issue before.
