Game Audio Cuts Out Randomly

[Ariellendera]

Thanks Riardon, I was coming here to make the post you already have.

I'm familiar with troubleshooting steps and policies Einmimiria, but I also know they often get taken too far. Running an application doesn't give that application the right to be the only application running, that was never how OSes were designed or intended to be used.

A number of people have done excessive troubleshooting and there is clearly a (probably multiple) problems with the sound engine in FFXIV. Please have the devs at least made aware of this.

Thank you for your response.

We can escalate this issue. Thank you.

Which of those spaces should we fill?
They look more like a gameplay type of bug and not something technical as a sound cut out issue.
I mean what am I supposed to fill in for NPCs, Party OR Solo and Retainer names?
All these seem completely irrelevant to the type of issue we have.

Hello!

Although that response was directly for NikolasCalypso, if you are having similar audio issues you are more than welcome to create a bug report as well. Fill in all spaces even if it seems irrelevant.

Hope to be of assistance.
