I think same problem as in this thread, except I use 360 controller: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-disconnecting

There were other threads as well with disconnect issue that I found in the past, but that thread might be the latest one.

Terrifying... I wish you luck against disconnections lol.

I do really think I've had both cases. The sound not transferring one for sure and yeah it's mainly the issue I was talking about. But at some point the game crashed too. Wasn't sure at that time that plugging something really was the cause since I was undergoing other strange issues with the game (can't remember what they were).

The fact they had to restart their game at least twice if not more is concerning.

Issue fixed confirmed here. I can now switch audio output without any issue!

Interestingly enough, ShB fixed my own headphone issues. I used to have to restart the game anytime I wanted to switch to my wireless headphones or two my computer sound system. I don't have to do that anymore since ShB dropped...

I can confirm that it's a great way to use a M to F extension cord.
This way I can swap my external speakeres & headset who both use the green 3.5mm audio jack.

Sadly no still way to change to my USB headset though.

There's older INDIE games who actually have proper audio support :/

Ok so i dont know if anyone posted this but in case nobody has;
What i do is i have a monitor with a speaker out port, i plug in my speakers there
For my headset, i plug directly into the PC MB, or in my case, the wireless USB stick.

When i want to switch from speakers to my wireless headphones, i go into the volume and speaker settings and switch there. Have not had to restart once

This also works if you have your speakers plugged into your PC and have a wireless headset plugged in via USB

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that SE secretly fixed this!

Yeah, they fixed it :D awesome. So many people in my fc were overjoyed from it!
