After a friend sent me a code for the new expansions and a 3060 RTX video card, I decided to get back into Destiny 2. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a series of frustrating, inconsistent audiovisual bugs over the past two days.
During certain instances of loading (going to new instances, opening menus, etc) but sometimes just randomly during gameplay, individual and arbitrary layers of audio will fade away or cut out entirely, often independent of each other. During this time, menu elements, text/subtitles, dialogue, all manner of things will lag behind or barely load/appear before snapping forward. I open a menu and hover over empty squares without animation graphics, or empty popup windows with no text. 20+ second periods in patrol spaces, strikes, etc, with no game audio but wind or ambience before a dozen sounds instantly play and everything proceeds as normal... for maybe another two or three minutes, before it happens again.
I've been scouring the internet for any and every plausible explanation: it's not spatial audio, it's not the speaker refresh rate, it's not any individual hardware as far as I can tell (I've unplugged and replugged keyboards and mics several times over). Is this an ongoing/existing audio bug some people are getting independent of their specs? Or am I missing an audio drive from nvidia? If it's tied to my new video card, why should it be unique to Destiny 2, or manifest so randomly and inconsistently like this? Is it my PSU? But surely that would be causing other issues too (it's not)? I've checked the game integrity, did a fresh install, played with ingame settings...
I could really really use some help, what on earth am I missing.

Hi there, Thanks for reaching out! If you haven't already, we recommend that you update your graphics card drivers directly from the manufacturer’s website instead of through their app. This will ensure you have the most up-to-date stable drivers and can help resolve these types of issues. If the issue persists, we recommend contacting the manufacturer of your drivers for more specialized support for your specific hardware setup.
