Choppy/Stuttery sounds

Lately in my game Guts & Blackpowder there has been an issue happening for a small number of players, where their sound effects will go really choppy and pretty much ruin the game for them. I don’t exactly know how to reproduce this given that it only seems to happen to so few players. Even just spawning 10 zombies, which each have their own voice sound for emitting groans, will cause this issue to occur, and then it resolves once all the sounds stop playing. I don’t know if it’s related, but they tell me this also results in their frame-rate dropping significantly until the sounds cease. I was told that this issue doesn’t happen on the Microsoft store version of the app.
This bug seems like it’s related to an older bug reported years ago here: Sound Engine Broken - Choppy / Nonexistent Sounds

Video from the same users as above.

Again, sorry I can’t figure out how to reproduce this issue because it just doesn’t occur on most computers, including mine, seemingly.
