Switched to the .OGG files cort linked (from adlib, or at least that was what OpenXcom's audio option was set to beforehand) and it seems to have fixed the issue. At the very least, it didn't crop back up within about an hour and a half of playing, and it tended to crop up within about that timeframe beforehand. Thank you.

Installing and figuring my way around a secondary OS is... a bit further than I'm willing to go just to test this bug, tbh. I may like OpenXcom, but not that much.
I'll see if I can maybe borrow a laptop or something to check on later, though.

Fresh reinstall was what I meant when I said I was able to reproduce it on a fresh install - moved/renamed both the My Documents Openxcom folder and the program files Openxcom folder elsewhere to back them up, installed completely fresh, didn't touch the backups.

Sorry, had just come off getting the bug last night so I wasn't thinking very clearly -

Game files are whichever ones come with the Steam version of X-COM, which I believe are 1.4?

Audio issue has been happening... well, as long as I've been playing OpenXcom, which has been about the last week, all on recent nightly builds. I tend to grab the most recent one and update about every other day. Headset's a Turtle Beach X12 - not wireless. And I will try disabling the mic to see if it helps.

And unfortunately, I don't have another machine to test on. Part of the reason I put this in troubleshooting is because I expect it's something silly hardware/software related on my machine that's causing OpenXcom issues.

Troubleshooting / Weird audio glitch

I've been having a... weird, sporadic issue I can't reliably reproduce with the audio. Usually after a little while playing, the audio will glitch out. I'm using a headset, and it's like the game almost completely loses the left audio channel, and heavily distorts the right, and it happens in such a way that within moments it's given me a splitting headache - because of this latter part, I haven't been able to test it much, because any time it occurs I literally have to go lay down for a few minutes. At first I thought my headset was shorting out, but as far as I can tell that's not the issue, since I only have trouble in OpenXcom. I was able to reproduce it on a fresh install of the latest nightly build, only settings I changed from the default being turning on a few of the xcom util mods. Windows 7 64 bit if it matters. Only seems to happen on the geoscape, affects both the music and sound effects.
