Muffled music

Music during gameplay becomes muffled and worsens in quality during combat making it distracting for combat and not being able to enjoy the game music. Seems to happen with certain abilities or particles but noticed it happening and was able to recreate consistently when any wave/elemental particles appear onscreen or whenever healing potion is used. Easiest to hear during boss fights/ambushes with game sound effect volume set to 50 or lower. Never noticed this before the 1.1.2.0 hotfix as I play with lower sound effect volume usually.
