Audio popping issue

Hi, here to report I have not had sound crackling before. Some lags here and there, nothing crazy. But since .08 I've started to have quite a lot of issues with the sound. I used to be able to watch youtube while playing no problem, now after .08 I cannot have anything open aside from FFXIV to have it run properly, and even then the sound is horrible with raids, in cities, anything that has some movement. The game is running relatively smoothly, but the sound is having a lot of trouble. I've already disabled the controller sounds just in case, even though I do not have a controller connected. Weird that it started now, is anybody else experiencing this?

I started to have the same issue on iMac after 6.08
Never had issues before. This is odd, it seems to be "fixed" but now new reports emerge from players who had no issue.

My ambient sound does still doing popping sound .
The only way to fix it for me is to mute the ambient sound... then the problem is gone.
So... not fixed for everyone.

Yay no more stuttering for me. The last patch fixed it, I am on a AMD FX 6300. My thanks to the development team for the fix.

the ambient sound is 100% fixed, check your cpu tjmax and game play temperatures.

i know i got low fps but it usually dont affect in game bgm or voices, the 08 patch quite lessen the issue but i in trial when the boss talking, they talk really slow as it my fps contributing to it, and i surely know its isn't an issue before shb, i don't expect sooner fix i just want them to acknowledge them for 6.1 perhaps

you have settings available to reduce to improve the framerate, make use of them, if you can't find a point where you can maintain 60fps in raids and trials your system is truly below the supportable requirements.

I have a 5900x, NH-D15 as a cooler and my temps are between 50~60°C (thats 122 too 140℉).
I dont get low fps (90~180fps), just popping an crackling especially in ambient heavy zones like Falcon Nest.
I'm 100% sure it has nothing to do my temps...

is ew really adding something heavy to it? T_T, because i remember doing eureka or dr or zadnor Fate, i only got 10 fps but sounds seems fine, bo crackling etc

I'm playing on an M1 Mac Mini and the "crackling" audio problems started happening right after the 6.08 update for me as well. I can mute the BGM, but it's not the same if I do that.
