Ever since I installed FAF on my new Windows 11 machine, the audio has been super buggy. Apparently this is a well known issue, even though I never experienced on my previous computer that ran on 10. The posts I could find on these issues are so old though, and none of the solutions worked. Judging by the fact that nobody else complains about this, I assume there is some well known fix I just missed out on.

I posted to Steam forums before here and some people said its a lost cause and they just restart their computer until the audio is normal again, which is insane.
