In-game audio completely cutting out randomly (BF4:CR/PC)

[redoctober21]

When I boot up BF4 the audio starts out fine. But after playing a some amount of time, the game seems to jump a frame or two. After that moment, the audio disappears, gun shots, voices, explosions, and vechile engines. But VOIP still works. Additionally, audio in other games and programs still work, only BF4 crashes.

I went to Event Viewer in windows and found no logs for BF4.
