From what I've heard from our PS4 players and players unaffected by this issue, the sound is really worth it, so we have about half our FC not willing to do MSQ because they don't want to have to play the game with no sound on.
Yes, mine is older, too. I wanted a new PC for Endwalker but our washer decided to go kaput so adulting came first. I was also fine Wednesday night when playing. It's just since EW release that things have tanked. I'm not willing to do MSQ without sound either. Figure I'll craft and gather and finish clearing my retainers today if I can get online at all.
