sound became weird

[Sceadugengan]

Hi there!

 

The last few days the sound in my recent save games became rather weird.

It starts with the occasional crackling sound, NPC voices, animals sounds etc. becoming distorted.

In hectic fights (a horde of bandits, many sound sources etc.) it gets worse, rain sounds like static noise and some sounds, like a bear dying, get delayed to the point that I hear it 10 to 20 seconds afterwards.

The worst part of it is that it stays like this even when my character returns to a calmer area like an inn or house.

To get rid off it I have to scrap the save and return to an earlier save game.

 

Has anyone got an idea what coud be the cause for this?

I'm not asking for mods but rather if I have too many scripts running or insufficient hardware or similar.
