[2021] Potential Audio Bug (Thoughts?)

I noticed this patch that the audio quality drops dramatically the first minute of the match and whenever to many people are firing at once. Like it almost sounds like the CPU is caving in and the audio with it. Basically it goes 8-bit for a few seconds.

At first I thought this was voicemeeters fault. So i reinstalled and re-set it up, still the problem. tweak the settings (bump the buffer rate down and up to check every option) still the problem persists. Thought it was all the background programs, closed out of those, still gargling marbles. Tried running the game straight through my Audio Interface, same problem. Plugged my headphones into the computer directly and, you guessed it, the audio distortion is still there!

Now, I am running 16 GBs of ram and an i7 8 core CPU on my MSI gaming laptop.

Has anyone ran into this problem for the game? Any fixes? Or has my computer absolutely had it with me? lol
