When exactly did this start happening and do you recall anything changing on your PC that coincides with it?

Do you happen to have a dedicated sound card? Or is it integrated into the motherboard? What kind of speaker set up do you have?

Any additional information will be helpful in finding a solution.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
My PC is new. My specs are i7-8700K, Motherboard Gigabyte 370 Gaming 7 and Nvidia GTX970 Windows 10 Pro x64 (latest update)
My setup is clean with latest drivers (motherboard, sound, graphics etc).
No AV programs installed.
I had the same issue with my older PC as well just not that frequently.
Note that only the game's sound stops and nothing else. Music plays in the background. YouTube and other games behave normally.
This issue is very old with the game it's just now that happens to me so frequently. Today it happened 2 times already.
It's so frustrating to restart the game so often to get sound back. I had this issue since XIV 2.0 launched but it was very rare.
I've never seen it to happen so often. Now I get this issue around 2 times per day and I don't know what to do.
