Audio popping issue

[Nonoliri]

We need to stress test everything to make sure.
Someone run Alexander and The Fourth Circle.

Oh... and try a Hunt Train.
If it can now handle a Hunt Train, we should be golden.

My sound has been stuttering and echoing and lagging since 6.0. I tried everything, running a virtual audio cable, DX9, lowering settings, changing listening position and the equalizer off and then back onto Standard, lowering the bitrate for my headphones, repairing the game files, just absolutely everything. Nothing ever worked, even the 6.05 patch that said it fixed it.

I ran World of Darkness today and noticed I wasn't getting it, so swapped all my settings back to normal (except for the virtual audio cable because I don't even know how to go about uninstalling that,) and it didn't come back. And to top it all off, I did a Hunt Train for 2 hours today with no stuttering. It seems like it's fixed for me at least, though I'm still worried about some people saying they're still having issues.

I plan to go back and rewatch a couple of cutscenes now that I can hear Soken's music in them and not just stuttering and dropped voice lines.

Turned my Listening Postion back to 11, as 100 is so annoying to me. Area 2 of first EW Dungeon was fine when it would 100% trigger it before with the Trust System. Did the first EW Trial with players and no issues there either.
Not sure what to think as I changed nothing on my system and the patch from them fixed it, yet they don't agree when I ask for some sort of reimbursement of my sub, even partially for the time most affected.
I want to be happy and I'll try, but currently I'm a little burned by SE.

Good luck to everyone, I hope it works well for anyone who got affected and may you all enjoy FF now to the fullest! Blast that volume all the way!

I absolutely agree that some form of reimbursement be paid! We have had to go through an entire expansion story with little to no sound and that is not what we paid for!

+1

Nearly two months later and a false benchmark and they think they didn't send us a faulty product that should be reimbursed? lol

Just be happy. They are under no obligation to compensate you with free game time because of a sound problem. You were still able to log in and play, you just possibly chose not to.

On my end the sound issue is finally and fully fixed, i can play with whatever settings i choose, and even in the 2nd trail it all goes without stutter, thank you Devs! You are the best!

[Nimue]

Thanks so much for fixing this issue! I can finally have sound on ingame and it is perfect!

[Midgeothy]

All good on my end. Long time coming and very glad for it.

That's like saying " be happy about your broken piano, at least you can still play it" yeah, but it sounds like shit and that's not what I paid for.
