@FatsharkJulia Thanks for the acknowledgement. Just as an update I completed two missions today where the audio was actually intermittent. It drops out for large portions of the missions and occasionally comes back.
There was also weirdly specific occasions where SOME audio returned my character was downed and killed and while observing an ogryn team mate, I couldn’t hear any audio except when they fired and I could hear the ringing of spent shells leaving the gun and hitting the ground.

I’ve uploaded today’s app data if needed as well.

I’m having the same issue. I tried reinstalling the game, using my soundblaster z card and also tried the motherboard card (all with the latest drivers). But nothing has worked so far.

All sounds are affected but they not always all dissapear at the same time. Music, foot steps, weapon sounds, audio queues go completely silent then comes back again for a bit then quiet again.

I also tried lowering the bit rate to 16bit 44100hz but nothing works.
