Ambient track audio distortion since Endwalker

Hey all, I've been having audio distortion happening since Endwalker, but much worst with patch 6.1. All coming from the ambient track, if I turn it off all distortion is gone, but that ruins the experience of a lot of locations. The distortion sounds like little blips and glitches like a record scratch very quickly. Has anyone found a way to fix this?

I've heard and tried changed the Hz of my audio, setting FFXIV to the audio source exclusively, muting all other audio sources. Some say this is an after effect of the "immersive audio" partnership square did. That the trial software left some buggy code which screwed up something.
