Potential Fix for Constant Crashing involving USB sound devices.

If you are using a USB DAC type sound device - you may have the same issue that I had.

I can't tell you what that issue is, there is no debug message or reason for the crashes, they just happened, constantly.

I can tell you that running the game using a Helix LT as a DAC device via USB causes the game to crash constantly.

I can tell you that using an SMSL M300SE DAC device via USB causes the game to crash constantly.

I can tell you that using a set of G635 Gaming Headset headphones via USB DOES NOT cause the game to crash constantly.

I have not tested other options. I do not know why the Helix and the SMSL cause the game to crash but the headphones don't. I can tell you I have tested it back and forth and it is consistent.

I went from 2 crashes every 5 minutes to 1 crash every 50 minutes (or thereabouts, the game still crashes, it is early access).

I also have my sound set to 0, it is unfortunate because I liked the voice acting in the game and was enjoying the sound but I am sure it will be fixed at some point - but for now - maybe this will reduce your crashes too.

Edited to Add: This is the in game device, your actual computer device doesn't need to be set to the same DAC/Headphones - I listen to music on my PC using the Helix LT, while setting the game device to the headphones. This works fine.
