Game crashes irregularly while loading up the game or switching maps.
An issue that I think might be related to it is that my SndVol.exe keeps crashing as well. When it crashes I can't adjust volume, can't watch videos/music (Both youtube and mp4/mp3) and sometimes it crashes while im playing battlefield in which case sound works until the map changes, at which point it crashes and i have to do a system restart as trying to restart SndVol.exe via Resource Monitor opens it into a crashed state.
Im running Windows 7 latest version, and scan my pc on a bi-weekly basis to clean it up.
