Hi @Brian Sevart,
Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums and sorry you've been experiencing issues. We need a few more details to help like exact Premiere Pro version you are on and hardware information. Please see How to Report a Problem.
What type of files and source media are you working with and where are they stored? Are you using any specific effects on your clips or tracks?
How are you listening to your audio or are you using any bluetooth devices?
Sorry for the frustration,
Dani
