Audio distortion in v0.35

Since updating to v0.35, all sounds in the game including menus is very distorted (clicking, hovering over buttons and while driving). Strangely, when going into windowed mode and going out of focus (clicking outside the BeamNG window), all of my Windows (11) sounds also become very distorted/crackly. I ran across a post when researching where someone recommended that in BeamNG Audio settings, set the Maximum Voices setting to something higher. Mine was at Medium when I started having the problem and I switched to High (384 Voices), restarted the game and it seemed to help temporarily. The next time I ran the game, I had the same distorted sound issues even with that audio setting still at the new High setting. At the time of writing this, I also have the latest hotfix applied (v0.35.2). Anyone else having this issue?

Things I've tried:
-Changing maximum voices setting to something higher
-Applied latest hotfix
-Checked windows audio settings (they've been set to what I've always had before v0.35 with no audio issues)
-Reset all audio settings to default in BeamNG
-Cleared cache (Standard)
