Sound Issues PS5

Currently playing on PS5 Pro. Constant sound issues/stuttering/crashes when loading into any map or menu. Can we get a patch solely on improving performance soon? Smooth immersive game play is just as important as balance and endgame changes IMO.

I'm having this issue too. I consistently test if it's fixed or not at the Halani Gates whenever there's a POE2 Patch. Both my character and the quest NPC dialogue can "Jog" as the action in game heats up while the NPC is opening the gates. Even though I've only mentioned this one example, it can auto ally happen throughout the game if the frame rate starts to dip with lots of monsters on-screen.
0.3.1 was supposed to fix the issue and it was even removed from the known issues list. But it wasn't fixed. Now instead of static and stuttering audio, majority of sound effects just go silent. I'd say it's better than it was before but definitely not fixed... Did they lie?

Notes from 0.3.1:
• Made adjustments to the audio system. This may help with audio performance, as well as some situations where audio could cut out.
• Fixed an issue where players on PlayStation could experience crackling audio or had the audio cut out.
