Audio Scratchy/Distorted Inconsistently and Temporarily- Randomly Solved, need to Consistently Solve

We have an 11-episode series, 30 min apiece, each ep is a project within a production. Some of the video footage is from Zoom interviews or phone cameras, and the audio from these two sources has become increasingly glitchy upon playback in Premiere Pro 2024, or upon export to H264.

-If I reboot the PC, the problem is sometimes fixed

-If I restart Premiere, the problem is sometimes fixed

-If I cut the glitchy sequence and then paste it back again, the problem is sometimes fixed

-Some portions of the same source footage will glitch within the timeline/export, while others will not

-Some Zoom interviews will glitch within the timeline/export, while others with identical codec will not
