Copied from reddit:

Hello, thanks for the reply, I have changed:
use_blocking_io = true :arrow_right: use_blocking_io = false
in the file
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE\bundle\application_settings\settings_common.ini

I will update the main post and reply after testing.

EDIT: This change has mostly fixed the stuttering issue, I did notice one or two very short instances of audio dropout during a very busy maelstrom mission but so far the playing experience is vastly improved.

Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 fixed the audio issues, it may be specific to a certain build of WIndows :woman_shrugging::woman_shrugging:
