Detailed Information:
Hey! So I looked far and wide for a thread discussing this glitch I've ran into, but unfortunately can't find much on it.
I've recently upgraded from Vegas Pro 14 Edit to Vegas Pro 15. To get straight to the point, I'm running into a massively inhibiting audio glitch that was not present in Pro 14 Edit. For whatever reason, some of my gaming footage recorded with the Elgato HD60 Pro is having very loud, distorted audio in very specific points. When loading this same content into Vegas Pro 14 Edit, the issue is not present. It seems to only exist within Vegas Pro 15. I've loaded it into 15 with 2 separate PCs and ran into the same exact issue.
This has happened in more than one occasion, three separate videos have had the issue so far. The weirdest part, is that the distortion does not exist while editing the videos in Pro 15, only within the rendered product.
My commentary is recorded through Audacity, but this issue exists even with the commentary removed.
It is not incredibly common, only happening for a few seconds throughout an hour long video. It is still something that greatly inhibits my productivity to have to double check each video for the glitch, and having to attempt to fix it each time. I've re-edited the videos with the glitch in Vegas Pro 14 Edit (since you can't load 15 files in 14), and the glitch is not existent.
Both the file edited in 14 and file edited in 15 have been rendered through 15, both have this glitch. The only way to avoid it is to render through 14.
I've tried multiple render settings in 15, each have the audio glitch. Sometimes rebuilding the peaks of the footage seems to fix it, but sometimes it doesn't. So I'm not sure if that's actually contributing.
Each time I render, the glitched audio will be unique. It doesn't seem to be recreatable in any way.

I think that covers just about everything.
Thank you to anyone who offers their help!
