Audio Stops Working During Play

About 15-30 minutes into playing, my audio just stops working completely. A full game restart is the only fix I’ve found. So far, it doesn’t seem to be caused by tabbing out; it just happens around this time. For reference, I play on Borderless Window and have background sound enabled. I didn’t have this issue last week on launch of Vessel of Hatred and the first day or two after, but upon playing last night for the first time since Thursday, this issue has been pretty consistent. It might be due to any of the small patches released since Wednesday/Thursday.

my Sound has stopped working this morning, everything else i have loaded into has provided its sound. Today D4 Silence. asides of other sounds issues that i have had since the beginning of D4 (& now they exist with VoH as well) gonna try and figure this out or move onto other Games, cause now with this, and then was the Glitchy Harbinger fight. i'm almost thinking of asking for my money back.

Crashed to desktop for the lost counth. 3rd PC attempt. Latest CTD met with a forced for .d update. No sound through restarting application, reboot, change PC, reconnected audio device. the struggle is real.
