Hi Jesse,

Based on your description, it seems like there are a couple of potential causes for the issue you are experiencing.

Firstly, it is possible that your audio drivers may need to be updated or reinstalled. Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause a range of audio issues, including delays and cutouts.

You can check your audio drivers by going to Device Manager in Windows and expanding the "Sound, video, and game controllers" category. From there, you can try updating the drivers by right-clicking on your audio device and selecting "Update driver". If that doesn't work, you can try uninstalling the drivers and then restarting your computer to allow Windows to automatically reinstall them.

Another potential cause could be related to the Dolby Atmos software you are using for spatial audio. Try disabling Dolby Atmos and see if the issue persists. If it does not, you may need to update or reinstall the Dolby Atmos software.

Additionally, it's possible that there may be an issue with your Bluetooth connection between your headset and your computer. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your headset, or try using a different audio output source to see if the issue still occurs.

Lastly, there may be a conflict between your audio settings and Discord's audio settings. Make sure that your default audio device is set up correctly in your Windows settings and that it matches the settings in Discord. You can check this by going to the Discord settings and selecting "Voice & Video" and ensuring that the correct input and output devices are selected.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
