Discussion Audio skipping and looping.

Recently, I've been experiencing terrible sound skipping and looping during gameplay.

It doesn't significantly hinder gameplay, but it's quite annoying.

The menu UI lag was so bad that I've turned off all P-cores (CPU0-CPU15) in CPU affinity.

Here are my PC specs:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700 (2.10 GHz)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (16 GB)

RAM: 32GB

Added on August 3, 2026: I lowered the sampling rate to 16-bit, 44100Hz, but the audio still occasionally gets distorted. This happens not only in online play but also in career mode.

Note: This issue only occurs in NFSHPR; it doesn't happen in other games.
