Sounds missing after a while

Platform: PC

Description: After the most recent patch (late feb 2021), sounds often stop playing for a number of actions until the game is restarted. The game keeps playing non-affected sounds as intended, but specifically the following sounds stop playing altogether – walking/movement and reloading sounds. Probably a few less-critical ones too that I might be forgetting here.

Steps To Reproduce: No sure-fire way to reproduce; sometimes it is possible to play for hours without the issue happening. Other times it can happen within 20-30 minutes of gameplay. Sometimes the issue occurs after using fast travel to a safe house, but not always, so this isn’t a guaranteed way to reproduce the issue.

Images / Videos: N/A

Host or Client: Both while hosting and playing as client

Players in your game: Any number (1-4)

Specifications: i7 4790K / nVidia RTX 2070 / 32GB RAM / on-board sound
