Steps To Reproduce
  1. Start Arma 3
  2. Go to Editor
  3. Place any ground vehicle like 'Civilian Truck'
  4. Place and play any ground infantry character.
  5. Hop in to the truck, turn on engine.
  6. Eject truck, so the engine still works!
  7. Observe broken sound source.

Sound Sources don't change anything: It can be 16 or 128. It doesn't matter.

You can reproduce this problem without Mods, in a vanilla game?

That is without mods, although with almost all DLCs (including Livonia, excluding Eastern Germany).

Also, LewisC got same (but completely opposite) problem:

Ok. I got this. Problem is because Windows 10 (ver. 1903) update.
To fix: Change the Windows sound settings back to 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD-quality) also make sure all Realtek sound enhancement/equalizer is off.
Now sound is Arma is great again.
