Audio popping issue

[GorthRedsteel]

Upgrading your hardware is not a guaranteed fix - many of the people in this thread have newer machines. Don't waste your money.

We're less than seven hours from the patch going live and I somehow still have hope. If it doesn't get fixed, I'll be more than happy to fill out Elliah's survey and provide any other information that might help. I agree that sending personal letters to devs is probably excessive and not likely to have much of an impact (no matter how cathartic it may seem), though I'll be thrilled if we can make some noise on social media and the Japanese forums. In the meantime, if we're still stuck here tomorrow, keep the bug reports coming: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...2-In-Game-Bugs Been a few days since I've seen a new one.



It was quoted in full two posts above mine and is still there for some reason. Don't get too excited - the rest of page 70 was mostly people discussing the only obvious way to apply the suggested fix, and it didn't work.

Vast majority of players that have current gen CPUs don't have any issues related to sound. I haven't met any FX users that DO NOT have the same problem as us. It's clear - that it's either outdated processor, motherboard, or drivers for both of them. If you don't wanna wait months for devs do actually do something, the safest option would be to just buy modern hardware. Simple as that. You will have to upgrade your PC at some point in the near future as we can't be stuck in the past forever. Cleanse yourself of this pointless cope and move on.

Please do tell if upgrading hardware solved the problem for you, LUL

No new reports are appearing because they are moving the new ones to the ''Duplicate Bugs' part.

What makes me doubt is whether this post in the part of ''Confirmed/Planning to Adress'' is related to our problem

I’m bracing myself for the disappointment when I read the patch notes tomorrow and see nothing has changed.

No mention I see of it in the patch notes. Starting to think we are stuck with it because of the Immersive Audio Experience

[TojiSuzuhara]

It's not in patch notes and still not on list of "known issues" so at this point i'd assume its not being looked into. I'm going to let my sub run out til they decide to fix it or when i can buy a new machine

[AsheStrachan]

The more I see less posts from people at SE..The less faith I have they are even going to address this or even fix it

[Nommers]

Really hoping this is covered by "Other various issues have also been addressed," because not even including it in Known Issues is just insulting.

I know it's too early to be sure of anything, but I feel DISGUSTED after seeing that patch notes ignored the issue.

Be sure to send your thank you notes to @EmbodyAudio on Twitter. I don't see any mention on the patch notes this round either. If I could be certain a new machine would fix this I would start saving up but since they won't even communicate with us on this besides telling us its "fixed" and then radio silence I don't feel particularly confident that is even going to solve the issue. I like the idea of a poll. Let me know if I can assist on that.

The thing with that is that if it were more than audio, if it was total lag, then we'd notice the lag in the gameplay as well. But as for me, I've just had my audio affected. Dunno if the two are mutually exclusive or not.
