Try under the options (audio i think) to disable sound when not in focus. Uncheck that and it seemed to make the freezing issue go away. At least for the main menu. It would actually do that sound freezing just sitting in the main menu, and now it does not. I'll do some further testing. It was kfsone who recommended to try this and it worked! Merry Christmas to you, by the way. Hope you are doing well for the Holidays.
EDIT:
NEVERMIND :-(. It didn't work, it still does that pause garbage. It really is, at random....FIX THIS LARIAN!!!
Here is what happens!!!
