PS4 version music issues

[Maka8295]

Hi, thanks for your reply!

I've had this problem since I first downloaded and played the PS4 version, which was about 2 weeks ago. I don't believe there has been an update since I started playing again either.

Thank you for the update Maka8295.

What is your current sound set up (TV Speakers, surround sound, etc.)? Does this match the sound settings in the game settings?

Is it possible for you to link a video of what the in-game music sounds like?

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

Hi, sorry for the late reply!

The in-game settings don't offer much in the way of configuration other than the volume on the PS4 version. I have my PS4 set to output in Linear PCM which is the highest quality option it supports, I've also tried the other options and it didn't make a difference.

My Set up is both of the following:

PS4 -> Optical output -> DAC -> Amp -> Headphones

and also my standard TV speakers, the problem is heard easily on both of these set-ups.

Here is a video of the issue:

If you listen to the singing you can tell it is very compressed compared to how it sounds in this version:

Thanks again for your help!
