[GAMEPLAY] Game Crashing After Audio Failure

A crash has been occurring for me this patch where the music will cut out. At this point, only voices and sound effects are audible. A few seconds later, the game crashes, forcing the player to restart the computer. This has occurred twice to me.

I suspect it is game related because the music cuts out but the game is still playable for about 10 seconds with no performance changes. As far as I know, this is random.

1. Enter game
2. Music Audio cuts, with only voices and sound effects playing
3. game is playable for a period of time less than 20-30 seconds.
4. Game crashes, computer restart required.

I haven't experienced this specific issue in the past and it popped up recently.
