- This issue was fixed in Patch 1.10.[11]
Unplug USB audio devices[12] |

Unplugging USB audio devices such as DACs, headsets and microphones resolves the issue. Disabling them in the Sound control panel works too. Disabling the device's respective HID-compliant device in Device Manager may also solve the issue. |
