Audio Crackling/Popping

After playing a session of Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam for about an hour or more, the audio begins develop slight popping and crackling to it. This later turns into complete warping of sound and eventually leads to significant cutting on/off of the sound after continuing to play. FPS also begins to stutter after this begins. Only restarting of the game solves this issue and only after another 1-3 hours does the sound begins to degrade once more.

Temporary Solution: Restart the game

I had this same problem back in Red Orchestra 2 but fixed it by getting the latest Realtek Driver. This thread actually sums up my problem pretty accurately: https://forums.tripwireinteractive.c...racking-sounds


Also, I have already downloaded & installed the latest Realtek driver after installing/reinstalling Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam several times but to no avail. It seems to me that maybe the drivers for download are not up to date with RS2, so I'm out of luck it seems.

Recording this problem was somewhat difficult, but here are two videos of my problem:
