I think it has hydraulic controlled sports diff, they do suffer from high pressure sensor faults, electric and software problems on different Audi models.

Considering you have droning noise it could be wheel bearing worn letting the hub to move around a bit and affecting ABS sensor readings and that confuses diff control. But I would expect it to bring up ESP and/or ABS lights as well. Check the wheel bearings, log ABS sensor readings while driving and check the fault codes.
