Happens both on computer's speakers and two different headsets.
Before yesterday it happened sometimes after accepting a call on Facebook Messenger (using Chrome) while in-game, now (after plugging a DS4 controller) it happens even after launching (see the video below)
Youtube video showing the issue
What I've tried to do and didn't work:
EDIT: The problem ultimately stoppped happening on its own (one day the game just launched without the issue)
A temporary "fix" that worked for me was to connect a DualShock 4 controller to my computer, but unfortunately I do not know what exactly caused my problem...
EDIT 2: For some folks the solution was to disable audio echancements (thanks @metrostarscream )
For others the following fix works, quote (from @PIzEndMe ):
"Solution that worked for me was to go to the speaker properties for my headset and change the format to 16bit, 192000Hz, anything above and the static returns. I hope this can help anyone new to the game."
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm having the same issue, the game sounds like it's coming through a radio just like how it sounded in the video. My audio drivers are also up to date and I've seen a few old posts that seem to describe the same issue. The repair function also didn't fix my issue.
