Audio popping issue

[Anemoshi]

Patch 6.08 is what started the audio issues for me. At first, I had some crackling and popping sounds with just wind while mounted. When I logged off and the game was shutting down, I would hear a second or less of the "crowd" noises. Then one day, I started having both these issues along with crackling and popping sounds going the whole time I play except when in a duty, unless I'm just not noticing it since I turned my ambient sound way down and there's as lot of sound effects and BGM drowning out everything else during combat. I'll have to double check this.

I haven't had the audio popping in some time, but I've noticed when I'm outside the apartment, the crowd sounds start up and it's all glitchy. Rather annoying. Hubby and others have this same issue too.

I'm having the same issue shown here, I thought I was just hearing things and I couldn't place a finger on what.

I hear it in shiro, almost everywhere as well. I think it might be ambient noise? I'm not even sure if this is what causes it????? I try to play with BGM on cause I can't stand the scratchy sound anymore.

If you have an AMD CPU then disable TPM in the BIOS/UEFI. AMD TPM can cause those sound cracklings or other unpredictable slowdowns like mousepointer stuttering. There will be soon[TM] a BIOS update fix for this with AGESA 1.2.0.7.

I just wish the ambient sound was back to normal. I used to be able to hear rumbling of motor cycle, gathering, crafting ,etc, even my footsteps. ambient slider is now broken for long time.

Ambient track is still giving distortion in 6.1, worst in some areas than before.

Never had any problems with ambient sounds popping unitl 6.1 and here we go.
AMD user here, TPM disabled.
Ryzen 5600x, 3060ti, 32gb ram, all temps good.

Yeah, we're Patch 6.1 already, still have those exact audio stutters like most of folks that been reporting it. :C

[Maigistr]

yep.. having the same exact issue ever since 6.0 dropped. it's worse in residential areas, and i hear it nearly always when i log into my ward in the lavender beds. it's really prevalent in arr zones as well, i've been hearing it non-stop while playing on my alt and it's ruining the experience tbh. i hear the crowd noise when i log out, too. a fresh reinstall didn't fix it either.

Still have the problem here too. Patch 6.08 or 6.1 haven't changed much, having the same issue. Now it even start to cause lag and framerate drop that makes the game barely playable and is not constrained in big fight or what, getting the same problem in small city or even instanced contents. Spacial Audio didn't change anything, neither disabling the Dual Shock thing or whatever.

Running out of thing to test to get the game back and this thread and other looks like dev considered the case closed >_>
