This happens often in gunfights, I think is a bug with gunfire sfx replacing the steps sounds

Apex legends sound bug audio chopping in and out. This happens a lot - only caught it twice here but it had happened several times like this in the minute or so before I started recording.

@EA_David I have another clip for you with no audio at all for me and my teammate. All in game sound suddenly stopped for both of us. We died shortly after as it is pretty hard to play with no sound at all in game. I did notice a slight noise at the end just as our team died.

I'm still also hearing the "record scratch" noise occasionally which really hurts your ears. No more recordings of this yet though, but I will post if a catch more on stream.
