I'm having a weird audio issue with FF8 Steam. Whenever the game plays any sound effect (I do mean any, walking, menu effects, etc), it plays the sound, which is followed by the music getting distorted/crackly for half a second or so. If I just leave the game running without inputs, it plays music just fine. I tried installing RAW to see if it made a difference, but the problem persists. If I start FF8 without FF8+ running in the background so I end up with no music, all the effects play fine, without any of the distortion/crackling.
I'm using a Logitech G35 headset running 7.1 surround. Could that be causing any issues?
Edit: I should have finished my thought regarding the forced 7.1 surround before posting. Changing the headset to only use Left and Right channels fixed the problem.
