[Bug] PoE2 Major Audio issue - extremely loud buzzing

Confirmed to still exist in 0.2.0h
There's a post on protondb that claims that this only happens on non-stereo (surround) audio outputs. I've stopped playing the game due to this issue, but for anyone who wants to test:

https://www.protondb.com/app/2694490#JGouLfvu8E

"Skill preview videos mute all game sound when using Vulkan renderer, and cause a loud noise when using a surround sound (i.e. non-stereo) audio output."

GGG - use this information to figure out the issue! I'll come back if you fix it.

Another protondb post suggests trying this for launch options:

WINEALSAOUTPUT=default WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winealsa.drv=b;winepulse.drv=d" %command%
