Thunderbolt Audio Issues

So happy to find this post! YES! This EXACT same thing is happening to me with almost all the exact same troubleshooting steps taken. I'm on a Universal Audio Arrow over Thunderbolt, and I get a Code -38 crash almost exactly 1 minute after loading the game at the menu screen. 

Steps taken

--Mobo is a z790 Creator Wifi w/ 14700K (no overclock)
--Full fresh Windows 11 format installation
--Latest drivers
--Latest BIOS
--Tried 5 different versions of audio drivers from Universal Audio, ones that traditionally worked for years too.
--ASPM and PCIe management turned off (recommend in UA forum, doesn't fix)
--New thunderbolt cable
--Tried different Thunderbolt jack
--Even in a different audio source is chosen as the primary source, the game will still crash. I must disable my Thunderbolt Audio Source in Device Manager to keep Apex Legends from causing the issue below.

Things to note

--I have played this game for years on my current setup with no issues
--Only in the last month or so has this issue started, a crippling error that makes the game unplayable
--This is the ONLY game this happens to for me. All my games and system run 100% perfect otherwise.

Thank goodness that someone else has found this too!  I have had the same issue for 2 months nowsince September just like the poster.  I use the same thunderbolt approach with a Presonus Quantum 2626 as well.  I've used this setup for almost 3 years now and have played a TON of apex and never once had an issue until recently.  And same as poster above, I get the same audio crash 1 minute into a game every freaking time.  Its so disappointing.  I enjoy this game, but I literally cannot play it at all right now.  I keep hoping that an update will post that will fix the issue, but I guess I'm doomed to never playing Apex again.

To echo what others say as well - this is the ONLY game i have this problem with.  Very annoying.  I've wiped my PC and fresh installed EVERYTHING, tried every driver update under the sun and nothing works.

PC Specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K (3.20 GHz)
128 GB (128 GB usable) RAM
Win 11 
RTX 4090

I thought I was the only 1 with the issue. I have done EVERYTHING i could to fix this but its just APEX LEGENDS !!!! HELP !!!

Apex Legends specifically has a huge problem with either Thunderbolt Audio, and virtual audio Inputs and Outputs. Game crashes, and a high pitch noise is plays till the pc is restarted. This only happens with thunderbolt audio drivers. It does not happen with my other audio interface that connected via USB by the same company. Been needing a fix for this for months
