[PC] Audio Crackling. Only in game.

TO ANYONE STILL LOOKING FOR A FIX:

THIS WORKED FOR ME.

I have GeForce GTX 2070 SUPER and can run the game on Ultra with everything maxed out. My audio is running through an audio interface (Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen). My CPU is Ryzen 7 1700x.

The game plays fine until I get to a cutscene, then, I would start getting crackling/stuttering. I tried every fix from this thread, updated every driver, and nothing seemed to work. However, when I lowered my graphical settings the audio was fixed!

I think this game overloads your CPU just as much as the GPU. There was some fix that I read from PCGamer that suggested to install a utility and limit CPU usage of the game. It made the problem 10 times worse. I figured if I lower graphical settings to stop my CPU from bottlenecking, it should do the trick. Voila, it helped!
