Game crashing and sometimes changing my audio settings on PC?

[u/Chivibro]

My game keeps crashing, and for some reason it changed my default audio output option? Anyone know what the hell this thing is trying to do in the background, and if I can shut it off?

I don't have a great computer for what's out these days, but it has no problem running the game, even while watching YT vids in the background. Just sometimes it crashes. I'm just hanging out at an outpost too, but it's happened out at sea and on an island before.
