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.

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.
