Some matches I cannot hear certain teammates or they can't hear me

Issue

RANDOM issues, only during matches, where a player cannot hear another player. Lobby's always been fine. Most matches even are fine. But randomly this issue will pop up.

Platform: I play on PS5. My friend plays on PS5 and PC - we've noticed this issue occurring no matter which platform he plays on.

Sometimes just one teammate won't be able to hear one other teammate. Sometimes two teammates won't be able to hear each other, but the third can hear everybody. And then in the lobby it's just fine. And then the next match will work perfectly.

The first time I'd encountered this issue was when Duos (Experimental) first went live.

Troubleshooting

I've tried muting everyone in the party (including me) and unmuting them, but nothing fixes it until the match ends. Looked here too but didn't find a solution. https://help.marathonthegame.com/hc/en-us/articles/46853995013652-Audio-Voice-Troubleshooting

It seems other users have noticed this issue as well. I've made a new post just so I can easily post new instances (with videos and timestamps) when it happens. Happy to help in any other way I can. Other users seeing this issue (I think):
