I got audio on the Larian screen, In the Main menu, character creator, but when pressing proceed it glitches out and makes a ckrackling noise but when I return to the character editor the audio is back. If I continue from the character editor to the second chracter creation screen It glitches out

Process Lasso is a program I am trying to understand but it is within the game I assume.
I think it's maybe the engine of what the game uses, maybe it doesn't like how windows 10 does it, they started back in 2017, and the engine is even older than that, so maybe something like that.

For the crackling, you can try giving something called audiodg.exe high priority, audiodg.exe is the sound processor, it handles sound, maybe the game is taking too high priority and audiodg.exe isn't able to process the audio in time cause CPU is being throttled.
