Regarding the audio/sound issue

[jadgwz]

I changed my audio driver from "Realtek High Definition Audio" to "High Definition Audio Device"
No more choppy audio and muted when I launch the game a few times today
Disclaimer do it at your own risk idk if there will be anything different or not to your sound quality

the chipping audio is still there for me, a easy fix is hit "alt + f4", windows sounds have to be enabled. When the windows sound plays and a window appears to ask if you really want to shut down the game, just hit escape. The audio works now as its supposed to till you restart the game.
