I recently purchased Skyrim SE and was quite annoyed to find that as I play, mainly in outdoor areas or large areas, I'm experiencinng audio delay on attack sounds, footsteps, arrow sounds, etc. The music still plays, I can hear the characters grunting but the combat audio has a pretty bad delay. The game runs great on my machine, 60 fps, smooth and beautiful, but this audio bug is very off putting. I tried running mods at first but I have uninstalled them since because I thought they may be the problem, but after reinstalling the game the problem persisted (albeit not as severely, but still enough to be very annoying).
Any help would be much appreciated!
