WoW messes with all my audio

Whenever I have wow open, windowed or fullscreen, all audio (browser, spotify, other games, windows system sounds) desyncs and gets distorted.

I don’t know when this started since I play wow less frequently than I’ve done in the past. I can isolate the issue to WoW Classic and Retail because I have no issues when running other Battle.net or steam games.

What i’ve tried so far:

  1. Clean install of battle.net and both versions of WoW with no backup folders (addons etc) inserted into the files
  2. Updated my graphic and audio drivers
  3. Tested Chrome, Edge, Firefox
  4. 3.5mm speakers and USB headphones
  5. Fiddled with all settings in-game regarding sound and voicechat

I’m at a loss of what to do. Blizz support said that they couldn’t help me and sent me a link to this forum.
