Specs are

12600kf Asus z690 TUF D4 16gb DDR4 3080 FE Creative AE5 sound card. Windows 11

All drivers upto date. Thing is it also happened on my old build with Windows 10. The only thing carried over is the sound card.

So I have left the game running in offline and changing between maps for a few hours now and the sound has not dropped out. Call me crazy but I think it's server admins trolling me. :-( There is literally no one else experiencing this issue when searching.

I haven't played 1.6 in like 4 years and decided to give it ago again but have this same problem I had back then.
