Basically, thousands of players have been experiencing horribly distorted audio because of the sound engine changes that came with Endwalker based around the new third party spatial audio plugin. 6.0 introduced a lot of problems that, for a part of that group, were manageable. 6.01 broke it completely and created a situation where the in-game audio is absolute and complete sound garbage.

Here's an example (with very minor Endwalker location spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLQW6ShIkJY

This is from -before- the 6.01 complete broke sound. Imagine this distorted sound, but now 10 times worse and completely unavoidable.
