AUDIO DEVICE crashing randomly when joining match for the first time !

Hello,

I currently play DB on my laptop, lenovo Y50.
(specs http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/lenovo-y50 or http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Y50-Notebook-Review.120215.0.html )

Running on win 8.1 64 bit…

I have been using the same laptop for about a year and as far as now no other game has given me any sort of issue. DB randomly crashes my laptop if its not plugged in.(I havnt seen blue screen of death on win 8.1 until recently).
Also DB randomly crashes the sound device which forces me for a restart or log off - log in to fix it…

Once its crashed, it wont recover unless restarted / logged off , even if i plug my earphones, still nothing happens…

I have the same problem, with my USB sound interface (TASCAM US-200). It was crashing randomly on Windows 7, but after one of patches, it stopped to.

However, on Win10 it beginned to crash every time again. Sometimes, unplug-plug works well, but it is very random, it can die at the first time, and I need to reboot/logoff, or I can unplug-plug it about 20 times before it stops working. By the way, when playing ranked, it crashes EVERY TIME, like 100%, so every time I play ranked, I play w/o sound, and it’s not cool.

Looking forward to Splash Damage to fix this issue.
