During a run of Ghimlyt Dark, my combat sounds cut out, then my music cut out and I had no audio at all. I was able to fix it without anything invasive. I tried the fixes from the OP, namely:

• In Windows 10: Sound Settings > Sound > Advanced Sound Options "App volume and device preferences" > Find "Final Fantasy XIV" in the list and change the "Output" device (top entry) to anything other than what it is currently set to, then BACK to what it is intended to be to.
• (For Windows) Control Panel > Sound > Playback > Find your default playback device and go Properties > Advanced > Change default format to "16 bit @ 44.1khz"
• Change client from DX11 to DX9. This can be done from the FFXIV Launcher by pressing the cog button.

None of these fixed it, and seeing that someone had success deleting the FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder in C:\Users\<your username>\My Documents\My Games, I did that as well and noticed it fixed the issue. So I got curious, because surely nuking everything wasn't necessary.

Here's what I did to fix it, back the FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder up first just in case:

1. Open C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV.cfg in Notepad (or any text editor)
2. Delete the entire section under <SoundPlay Settings>
3. Save the file and relaunch the game, you should have sound

This worked for me, I hope it helps others.

Tried everything else before I found this post nothing worked. Tried this and I'm back in business thank you.

PSA: To anyone who wants to try this and is worried about sitting in queue, you can test it by seeing if the character voice is working in character creation.

So annoying.

Same issues as with others--logged in this morning around 0630 PST and the only audio was BGM and some system effects. Turned off the wireless controller options hoping that would help to no avail.

Changed to DirectX9.0c and that got the sound working but presented another problem of screen freezes, non-responsiveness, and game collapse. Screenshots also fail in full screen but work in Windowed mode.

I use a Creative SB X-Fi (older card) for my 5.1 system. I had to disable motherboard sound because it seems Windows 10 doesn't play nice with surround sound (only center and front left and right worked with motherboard; all speakers work now after switching to SoundBlaster).

The game's crashed multiple times, typically in higher congestion areas (twice in Eulmore, still trying to move off the boat in Sharlayan).

So, at least in my case, it seems I have two choices: better video and drastically reduced or non-existent sound effects, or sound with graphic hiccups. Can't stay logged in the game long enough to send a message through the game. Getting booted has resulted in 1~2k queue times.

I'm also getting this issue. And nothing suggested so far is working. It worked on my first login yesterday, but on subsequent logins it did not.
No battle effects, just menu and notifications

Signed in when game launched in the wee hours of the morning. No issues except for my character info not showing up at the character selection screen and one NPC floating. Floater resolved itself.

Signed in for the second time today and all of a sudden I can't hear any noise from my character in addition to still not seeing my character info. Will probably be disabling DirectX11 like others have done with success if I can't find another workaround.

I honestly think this is an issue with the realtek driver. I'm curious if everyone else was using that for their default sound device.

I plugged in my headset via USB instead of fiber cable and changed my default playback device to the headset. Ever since then I haven't had any issues.

Would bet money it's a compatibility issue with realtek drivers and it'll be a thing until they get an update, or something.
