Loud broken audio buzz when fighting abyss on PS5 pro

The audio for me on ps5 is making the game basically unplayable.

1. Ball lightning / spark causes horrible crunching / clipping audio after the bug starts (and sticks until I restart the game)

2. Related, boss fights the audio is clipping/looping/ and the game is stuttering with the audio. “And I am ravenous and I am ravenous I am ravenous) … etc.

3. The abyss cracks cause the worse audio glitch where the audio breaks entirely and all I hear is an incredibly loud and awful sine wave / square wave sound generated by the sound effects audio. The only way to make it not completely awful is to completely mute sound effects.

4. Once the audio gets into a bad state, all of the audio starts looping, even music, etc.

I had none of these issues when I played a full playground back in release so I believe their audio upgrades patch may not be playing nice on ps5.

Any tips on short term mitigation would be appreciated, hopefully a patch will make it in soon and others are experiencing this and not just me

I'm having this issue too, really hope it gets fixed soon.

Good luck for the team on getting this fixed.

Having the issue on base PS5 also playing a Ice Strike/Shattering invoker. Happens most often during Abyss but any juiced map can cause it, never happens during less intense content like Ultimatum or Trial

Having the same issue. I was casting essence drain and contagion.

Same issue, base PS5.

Red Vale is when it started for me during an abyss event and made a terribly loud buzzing sound. Since then every abyss encounter makes the audio loud and distorted and affects performance.

I was using lightning arrow / lightning rod at the time.

Just adding a post to include a video if it's any use

Horrible buzz. We encountered it before in another section. Turned down sound effects and it was a lot better, at least playable. We were just playing Holden and sound was buzzing again.

I've gotten buzzing that's caused by proximity to others in group play, as well as a very obnoxious loud white noise sound or buzz when

I did it! I broke audio completely!!

Regular Ps5, fighting in the azak bog, but lets be real its everywhere you come in contact with abyss.


Fighting abyss monsters using forge hammer and explosions. Then 2 abyss monster that shoots the beam then appeared and boom, audio completely gone. This is a new one on me.
