Enable Hidden Files in Windows

In Windows Explorer, click File Tab> Options>View Tab>Hidden Files and Folders>Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives.

Find the GameUserSettings.ini File

Navigate to C:Users\AppDataLocalLowMCCSavedConfigWindowsNoEditor and open up the file GameUserSettings.ini file.

Change AudioQualityLevel from 0 to 1

Press Ctrl+F and search for AudioQualityLevel and replace the 0 with a 1. This is the culprit to all of your audio issues.

Start up the game and play in a mission. The audio should now be not super crunchy!
