DCS Freezing after 2.9

[GriffonBR]

Unfortunately, since the last update I am also suffering from problems with my DCS freezing and crashing. Starting in the Syria Hot Start Apache mission, after a few minutes everything freezes and the DCS log appears and my ATI driver also crashes (I'm using the latest version) I've already removed my overclock, I've messed with the settings and disabled all the mods, but the problem persists. I'm sending some logs to see if it helps. 

My PC specs:

8700K@4.8ghz

ATI 6750XT 12GB

32GB@3200mhz

Corsair 750W PSU

1TB SSD just for DCS.

Windows 10

Thanks!

The first error is related to audio ("bufferEven has timed out"). This error message led me here:

So just in case, you can try @hornblower793's solution here:

 

The strange thing is that, right before the crash eventually occurs, you have error messages related to pictures which conclude with "Reason: Requested audio format unsupported.".

See if you can solve this audio error message.

Now, a few seconds before everything freezes, the sounds in the DCS start to interfere, some spikes in the engine noise, etc.

After the first freeze I started a new mission and everything runs perfectly. Really strange problem right here.
