Xbox Series X Sounds keep cutting out POE 2.

While in a zone, my skill sound effects keep cutting out. Seems like just the skill sfx, as background music, character voice, and monster sounds seem to be working. No pattern that I can see, sometimes cuts out early, sometimes I've almost cleared the zone.

Edit:

I forgot to add that it's happened to multiple characters and the only way to fix it is to completely exit out of the game

I'm having the same issue on the series x super annoying
Im on xbox series X and its been happening to me often. Seems like the sound bugs out when there are large packs and im hitting them all with galvanic shards with herald of thunder and living lightning. Lots of effects at once seems to cause it. Also not all the sounds go out right away somtines only most, then all as I keep attacking.
Same issue on series X except that exiting the game still hasnt resolved the sound issue. Might be tied to the vaal guards maybe they are insta breaking the audio making it seem like the audio isnt fixed on restart.
I think it has to do with the amount of sounds being generated. My grenadier tactician has had this happen multiple times.
Came here to post the same thing - in the middle of playing, all sound but dialogue cut out. Restarting the game fixed it for now, but if it happened once, I'm sadly sure it'll happen again. Along with DCs and crashes...however, it's playing better than on PS5, so there's that....
