No sound - cuts out for several minutes during matches

I’ve been having an issue since Hammond came out where all the sound in the game will cut out entirely for minutes on end.

Audio cutting out

I thought this was an issue with my headphones or my computer. I got new headphones and I played on a few of my friend’s computers. But have come across the same issue. but whenever I get into a game, the whole audio for the game just cuts off completely. No sounds, no cheesy voice lines, no music. And its a scary experience. Update: Turns out it even happens when you’re saving your Highlights! I have a saved POTG and the Audio cuts out near the end when the Overwatch Logo appears.

Current work around is go to sound, enable 7.1 Dolby and then instantly turn it off.
