I’m very excited to play LE, and I want to be immersed in the story etc… I want to enjoy the cinematics, but upon character creation, the audio which plays alongside the intro cutscene is very laggy, as if it’s slowed-down. In the menus and in-game, the sound is fine so far. I tried reinstalling, running as admin, tried using speakers instead of headset, and I checked to make sure my sound drivers are up-to-date. Incredibly frustrating. Does anyone know how to get around this? Thank you!
You could try to install some big audio-codec pack… sometimes I have issues with audio in-games till I installed some extra codecs. Good luck! 
This happened to me once inside the cemetery, out of nowhere the sound stopped. I had to exit the game and re-enter it to get back. Going to the start menu wasn’t enough.
