Hello. I just bought this game and while I enjoy it immensely, I have encountered a serious audio issue. On the battlescreen, when fighting the king, all the sound effects crackle quite noticeably. Since there are no audio options besides volume (which I don't blast at full), I would like to know if there is a remedy for this.

Specs:
Windows 10 Home 64bit
Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 5 MOBO (using the integrated sound chips)
Intel I7 6700k 4,4Ghz
16GB Ram
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1

I don't have a solution, but I just want to add that I have the same issue, well, kind of: I experience audio crackling too, but instead of sound effect, I would say it's coming from the background music. Mine was relatively minor, or perhaps I'm just good at ignoring noise, so it didn't bother me too much, but the crackling is definitely there.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic, Intel i3, nVidia graphic card, laptop, and using headphones (at about 25% volume). Though I don't think any of the above is the issue.
