Severe Audio bug (Proof attached)

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Vlad_Tepez
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Any part of the map, triggered by combat
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Near combat
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 0
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Every single match (multiple times even)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? The way to describe the sound is as if it's severely distorted,loud, and gives a wavey/pulsing rumble, other sound effects come choppy if not as if slow-motion. and occasionally delayed. i'll essentially still be hearing the sounds of combat a good portion after the combat has finished till the issue resolves itself with enough time of "safety" in the game.
What should be happening instead? Clear audio so that I may hear my surroundings.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I am uncertain how you can find this bug, as it seems to only be occuring to me out of the group of friends i have played with.

I have contacted Support a few times, and i have been confirmed this is a bug and to report it here so a specialist can assist me. I just hope someone can help me please.

Because of this Bug i have been having to rely severely on sight or possibly what my teammates hear in matches, and it puts quite a damper on gameplay because i can't tell where someone is re-positioning in the heat of the fight. Again this ONLY occurs in matches and when it's close combat. (one time because i couldn't pick anything out over the noise, i backed up into fire because i couldn't hear it behind me) and sadly this bug literally occurs, at the very least once a match. I expect to hopefully see this audio bug resolved so i can continue to enjoy this game at it's fullest. as i have been very happy with every part of it thus far other than this specific sound bug.

 

The Video attached shows the bug, but is not it's most severe. typically I can't tell where any sound or shots are coming from at all, because the sound becomes such a cacophony that I can't  distinguish anything in particular.

 

EDIT: it is not posting the mp4 Attachment showing the issue, here is a link to hopefully resolve that. https://youtu.be/FjPk-zGlVqY

I have similar problem, but not as bad as yours. Happens randomly, mostly at the beginning of a match. Gunshots, footsteps and other sound effects missing or delayed. On PC with HyperX Cloud II.

Hoping to bump this but not sure if i'm doing it right. 

I was told by support a specialist would take a look and I had not been notified in the slightest that anyone has been able to see this issue and at least theorycraft a solution/eta to when this can be fixed. I still suffer this bug to this day and it various to as bad as the video to worse.

 

I'm just simply wanting to enjoy an FPS game that relies quite a bit on both sight and sound.
