Audio popping issue

[TojiSuzuhara]

asked the Legend Soken directly himself on twitter and he responded saying they are planning to have this fixed BEFORE 6.1. As frustrating as this issue is, i have nothing but respect that a lead developer goes out of their way to respond to people personally like this. Crossing my fingers this gets fixed asap

to be fair, they could just post an announcement on the lodestone for that, but i guess they dont want bad press on their homepage since they push all these new shiny "audio tools"

Iam happy that its getting fixed now so i dont rly care.

i think its that and the fact that this is most likely considered a "fringe" issue. its nice knowing i wasn't crazy and the only one having this problem, but i've just accepted the fact that more ppl would need to be experiencing this for them to acknowledge it "officially" on the lodestone

That's fantastic! That's all we wanted to hear.

My husband hasn't had this issue at all and his PC is older than mine, so he's been hoping it gets fixed for my sake.

Oh thank fk.. playing this game with no sound has been rather annoying and very boring

[rojimboo]

I've had it set to allow exclusive mode and to give priority, with all other playback devices disabled all along, so no luck there.

For Linux to handle something game related better than windows is certainly a first for me though, really interesting. (Not to mention on a game built for windows!) Maybe the move off the sinking ship might be sooner than I thought.

Thank you for testing this! Sucks that it didn't work though

Yeah, I was completely surprised that Linux worked better than Windows here. I'm not sure that's ever happened to me before. Sure, I can get parity with Windows in most games, but less buggy or better in Linux?? Never, haha.

(you don't have to reply this but giving it anyway to ended the discussion)
Mine live in the region that doesn't have FF14 on the steam unfortunately, but i hope i can work it out using the standalone... but that's for another day, thank you for sharing it ^^

No worries dude! If you ever need a hand with stuff to get FFXIV working on Linux, gimme a shout

I can replicate it under the conditions of having the SFX muted in various content using a xeon x5960 overclocked to 4.2Ghz,
but my living room setup with a xeon 1680v2 at 4.2ghz struggles to replicate the same increases of cpu usage (that said i was testing off-peak)

Ah ok. So it affects a wide variety of CPUs (perhaps all?). That's really unfortunate. Doesn't seem like there's much people can do on Windows to help with this annoying bug.

Here's a toast with a beer, whilst waiting for the fix to land! Cheers!

I've also been having this problem ever since Endwalker dropped. I've tried dx9, lowering bitrate, reinstalling the game, reinstalling my own drivers, setting low graphics, and lots of sound setting fiddling but I still get the sound stuttering. Dialog is timed pretty tightly so with the audio clipping on and off characters only get to say about half of their voicelines before moving on to the next line. Visually there are no problems, but I would really like to experience Endwalker in full, especially since the soundtrack is what drew me to the game in the first place.

Potentially relevant specs:

Motherboard: 990FXA Gaming MS-7893
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs), ~4.2GHz
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Let me know if further information would be useful in any way.

Nothing you can do but wait for the fix from devs. Well, nothing except upgrading your prehistoric machine. lel

in any other current game id agree with you, but if the benchmark says you can run it, you shouldnt have weird audio or visual bugs.
especially in a game thats about a decade old.

and not only old cpu's are affected, the problems on my ryzen 5 5600x aren't as severe as others but it still lowers the quality of an otherwise fantastic game.
