Audio Cutting in and out inconsistantly

Issue Description:
Audio has been cutting in and out during missions, and at Taal’s Horn Keep. Unable to reproduce audio issues outside of Vermintide 2. Other players I have asked are also experiencing this issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
Unknown, seems to be happening at random

Map Name (If Applicable):
Throughout game

Platform:
Steam

Player ID:
ChocolateLife99

Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
12/28/23-12/31/23 (Today as of writing thisrr)

Reproduction Rate:
Once - Rare (<10%) - Unusual (<25%) - Common (<50%) - Often (<75%) - Constant (100%)
Has happened often to me, seemingly often with others I have corresponded with.

I recommend checking our general audio solutions (e.g. updating audio drivers) here:

Otherwise, I appreciate this is a Darktide article, but I’m hoping the solution/workaround may still be useful if you’re using a bluetooth headset
