Sound Issues after 6.01

[Raikaris]

The issue with sound also started for me once the 6.01 patch dropped; prior it had been fine, and now I can't join any fight either in the overworld or in duties / instances without the audio sounding like a skipping record. Doing content with my audio muted is terrible for the user experience an no quick-fixes seem to help. I can only hope the acknowledge this is ongoing and offer a better response than 'update your systems'.

SE's response can't be "update your system". They put out the benchmark, right? The benchmarked worked fine. No one had an issue with that - because it used the old sound engine. But see, the thing is, because it was benchmarking software for Endwalker, and Endwalker doesn't work like the benchmark did, that leaves the door open for a case of fraud if the problem isn't rectified.

It's the equivalent of buying an electric car with all the bells and whistles, then the car gets delivered and it doesn't have any wheels, runs on leaded gasoline, has an 8-track player, and the convertible top is actually just some dude's Hawaiian shirt stretched over the top of the cab. In effect, it's not what was advertised and it's not what customers paid for.
