UPDATE: Definitely Something Wacky With This Device -- After Restarting It A Few Times, I Was Able To

UPDATE: definitely something wacky with this device -- after restarting it a few times, I was able to go back to dropout and press "continue watching"... this made the audio normal for about 5 seconds, before messing up again. If anyone knows sound mixing stuff or audio management, I'd appreciate the help! It sounds like my system is automatically muting or muffling certain sounds (laughing, clapping, high volumes) which isn't exactly ideal for a chaotic comedy show with a lot of screaming. I'm working with a windows laptop so all systems are microsoft.

I'm trying to watch the latest "Make Some Noise" episode on Dropout, but for some reason, the audio is really glitchy? The players' bits get cut out or completely silenced, the laughs sound like they were recorded on a zoom call lmao. I don't think it's my computer, as other videos, even other episodes of make some noise aren't glitching out, is anyone else having this issue?
