Audio popping issue

[Puss_Kat]

Same issue here, patch didn't fix the problem for me and i've tried multiple things like changing the audio to "CD quality" / drivers, unplugging controller and disabling dual sense etc.

Using a Threadripper 3970X / RTX 3090..

Threadrippers are not for gaming, especially since they do core-core communication across a pcie fabric.

use an affinity locker to keep the game using only the threads on CCD1 (first 8 threads), be aware that there is known stuttering issues with the entire threadripper range in ffxiv.

I have a 5900x, NH-D15 as a cooler and my temps are between 50~60°C (thats 122 too 140℉).
I dont get low fps (90~180fps), just popping an crackling especially in ambient heavy zones like Falcon Nest.
I'm 100% sure it has nothing to do my temps...

the only crackling im hearing in falcons nest is the expected crackle of burning wood in the torches around the aetheryte.
