ARC Raiders Audio Nightmare

TLDR: My rant about the audio having so many issues, I don't think at this point anyone can really help/fix my problem as I think at this point, in my experience, its just the game.

I have run into so many issues with ARC Raiders audio, from output delay from the game, to flatout no input from my mic for voice chat from Voice Meeter as well as direct. I know your thinking just stop using voice meeter, and I've tried it. Works for a while then randomly stops working. Even throttling down my gain on my mic to avoid and noise suppression doesnt solve the voice chat issue. But now I have 0 sound at all from the game, with or without Voicemeeter. I wanted to post this just out of curiosity to see if anyones had issues to this level. I know a ton of people have had issues with Prox Chat. Has anyone had issues with Voice Meeter specifically with it? I've tried updating drivers, changing default devices, full uninstalling Voice Meeter to make sure that wasnt my hard wall stopping me from getting sound. I am not completely devoid of hope, but I am a little extra frustrated that the audio has been this uncooperative. Lemme know your experiences and what helped/hurt.
