Vanity Pet Causes Audio To Stutter

The vanity pet Sylthed Simulacrum causes the in-game audio to stutter. This affects the music but can also affect attacks as well. I didn't check but I wonder if other players who hear the stomping of the pet have their audio stutter as well. I personally don't mind because I use Spotify when I play but might be annoying to other players who use in-game audio. Might also affect audio cues from certain instances (Tomb of the Nine Gods where you have to hear for the laugh right before Acererak slams the table). I have no idea how to remove the pet. I tried re-using the item but he just re-appeared. Tried logging out and back in but he is still there.

It's a cute pet without a doubt and I love it but I am ready to make it go extinct if it gets in the way of important audio during gameplay.

UPDATE: My pet vanished after entering a Master Expedition. Not sure why but it's gone now so I won't re-summon it until the audio bug is fixed.

Sorry if I didn't post the links correctly. I normally don't use the forums but wanted to let Cryptic know anyways.
