X370 Gaming K4 - BIOS 4.60 sound issues BF1

   Hello everyone,
At first: I solved it - just writing this for anyone who experiences the same problem.

I experienced weird sound-issues in Battlefield 1 after I updated to BIOS 4.60.
Primarily the background/environment sound/music disappears and reappears randomly while voices of soldiers and weapon sounds stay - this occurs for a 1-2 second period maybe.
It's not the onboard audio - tried an external sound card and headset with integrated sc, same issues.

I tried nearly everything to eliminate the problems in BIOS and game options:
-updated Chipset, graphic and sound drivers
-instead of ASRock OC I used AMD CBS to configure P-States and overclock (tried stock clock and lower/higher voltages in P-States, too)
-disable/enable SMT
-ram was oced to 2666 MHz, back to stock timings and clock, not solving the problem...
-different bf1 sound/graphic profiles, online and offline game
-Load Line Calibration options
-etc....

Today I went back to BIOS 3.50 (Bridge-BIOS), not 4.50 because of the buggy dram-voltage switch
Now everything has gone back to normal and the problems in BF1 are gone.

My system:

AMD R5 1600X @3825MHz 1,275V cooled by  a Mugen 5 + Noctua NF-S12A
ASrock X370 Gaming K4
2x 8GB Kingston HyperX 2400MHz CL15-29 1,2V @2666MHz CL 16-15-15-29 1,215V 
Gainward GTX 1060 Phoenix GS 
Sandisk 240 Ultra II (Windows 10/BF1 installed)

Best regards
Luckson
