Crackling WebAudio Sound in Edge, Win 10

Hey Everyone!

Just a request for bit of general sound diagnostic advice from some experienced users.

WebAudio sounds are starting to crackle when the second level of our game loads. At the moment this is just on Edge, Windows 10, on a low-spec laptop. Sounds are fine on the first level, but after the preload tasks run on the second level, the crackling starts.

It almost seems like the preloading taxes the game so much that it then is unable, for some unknown reason, to properly play sounds. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar and could give me an idea what to check…? (CPU, memory, encoding…?)

Thanks!
