I’m also experinencing this audio stuttering. It make the game unplayable. I have to mute my game audio and play just off the voice chat of my teammates. I also use a headsets. This happens pretty much every game I play after a few minutes it’s sounds unbearable and I reset my console and it’ll happen again and again.

  • I just remember running and looting and the sound slowly starts clipping and it’s increases to the point where the audio is completely messed up

It may be linked to supply drops, I hear the sound of it falling and it clips and stutters and makes me lag up a bit

This bug happens to me during every gunfight! Out of all of my friends, none of them have this problem! At times it becomes so loud I have to unplug my mic! It really makes the game hard to play without one of the most important factors in battle royal, which is audio! Please fix soon!

I reinstalled the game and played a few games and didn’t notice the issue. I haven’t played enough to confirm it. I’m glad other people are having this issue, it’s unbearable lol

I also have this same bug occur on PS4. It happens quite often, I would say every game, but not every combat. It only seems to occur when the enemy is rushing my position though, if I'm having a long-mid range battle it's fine. It only occurs when the battle is in close proximity to me. Also nobody else that I play with has this problem occur, which I find strange since I output all audio to headphones and it isn't a problem with my headphones. 

 

I do hope it gets fixed soon because it honestly hurts my ears every time it happens since it seems to always occur at the loudest available volume.

Also getting this issue on Playstation. Has happened 3 times now. No game audio in a match, except laggy voices and gun shots.
Makes determining where enemies are in relation to you very difficult.
