Audio cutting in & out
Now; this I'm not 100% sure if it is the game causing it or my headset, but it has been happening for me since I first started playing - and it is ONLY with Helldivers that I get this problem.
Whenever I'm in combat - even just facing off against one small target - my audio will start cutting off completely, and not just for the game, but my entire PC. These blips will usually either be for a split second, or three seconds long of just complete silence.
The reason I say I'm not 100% sure if it's the headset is because this issue can get so bad that it'll just flat turn my headset off.

I am using a Corsair Void RGB Wireless.

I've tried a lot of solutions on the web, from disabling & setting default Sound devices to uninstalling particular drivers. Restarting the game, uninstall & reinstall (Which was for other issues that I have posted about already). I'm kind of out of ideas at this point and the only theory I have seen that I obviously can't really fix is that apparently the Anti-cheat is interfering with Audio settings (Not sure what drew this conclusion for some people, but is what I've seen).

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and/or if anyone has a fix for it?

EDIT:

I was meant to come back to this post a few weeks ago to add this.
I purchased a new headset (This time Logitech Gaming) and I have not had the choppy audio ever since. Whether it was my Corsair Void was dying or it was the Corsair software itself, I haven't had any issue since changing to Logitech. Somewhat unfortunate as I liked my Void's a lot.

I am using a Corsair HS75 XB wireless and got a similar issue. The Audio cuts out unregularly but often for a sec. Only in Helldivers 2, no short outs with other games, YouTube or listen to music. For me it is happening even during the intro. I tried all the things I could find on YouTube or via Google....nothing helped. But hey, we have kinda the same problem and are both using Corsair....so maybe that's at least a start. ;)

I'm using the Sony pulse explore earbuds on my PC and the left one cuts out just for a few seconds then it's fine again for a minute or so. They work fine on all other games

I just created a post on an audio issue I'm having with the difference being, mine starts as soon as I launch the game. Did you found anything about it?

Had this problem the entire time. I use Sennheiser PXC-550. They work fine when they're attached with a wire, and they work fine in every other game, but Helldivers 2, the sound cuts out randomly, and frequently. Pls fix AH!
