If I had to take a guess its either bad realtek or bad nvidia drivers.


Also in the speakers property (under sound) try clicking disable all enhancements under the enhancements tab.
On the event viewer I see no errors concerning this. Bad drivers I don't know maybe it is maybe not. I tested 4 different audio drivers. 2 from my mobo's micro site. Realtek's generic ones from their website. And 1 from the MS catalog.
Even if the audio drivers crashing why it is only XIV that loses the sound and not my music which is playing in the background? There are no audio hitching, pop ups, cracklings either. Music plays fine when this happens. Videos as well.
For now I'm making a different experiment. I disabled Full Screen optimizations and set the game to run with Windows 7 compatibility. I still didn't rule out that Windows 10 might be the culprit. Time will tell for this.
Most of the times the audio stops without an error message or game crash. Few times I got a game crash with the audio error message I posted earlier.
