Audio popping issue

[AsheStrachan]

Still choppy audio

[KnottySloth]

it feels like it got worse.

I don't think this Hotfix addressed anything audio related, did it?

Nope. I'm pretty sure it was just focused on putting extra power into the servers to up the number of people that could log in. We're pretty SOL for having clear sound.

Okay this is ridiculous, uptill now I was getting this only in combat and not even in dungeons/trials, now its gone to all cutscenes and every now and then in open world.
Literally doing Praetorium as I write this and its happening in every cutscene.
Never had this happen before in Shadowbringers.
At first I thought my PC is bad and thats the reason, but its happening in freaking Praetorium of all places so thats obviously not the case.

As I said in a earlier post, I opened a ticket on SE Support Center a few days ago, and they answered me by email today, although the website says they don't answer most of the tickets individually.

I took this opportunity to reply to them with an appeal for them to fix this bug in a hotfix as soon as possible instead of us having to wait until Patch 6.01 two weeks from now.
I linked to them close to 40 threads on Lodestone and Reddit of players reporting and discussing this issue (including this one), hoping that they'll see the seriousness of the situation.

Again, I suggest that everyone suffering from this issue, that has still not opened a ticket on SE Support Center, do this through the link below:

As you will give them your PC specs, it should help them figuring out what might the causes of problem, and it also shall bring to their attention that there is great number of players in need of this fix.

The fact that we have to wait till patch when this is probably the most game ruining issue after server stuff is pretty ludicrous. Having to play through msq with these issues soured the experience a lot for me and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

Well SE is aware of the issue and actively working on it, it's obviously a major set of issues that is going to take time and require a client side patch to fix so demanding a solution is kind of pointless at this stage. Game releases have bugs, fact of life, the fact this one only effects a small portion of people makes it even harder to troubleshoot and fix. No point getting too salty about it.

To those who are complaining that this has ruined the MSQ experience for them, I ask you why did you continue to play the MSQ knowing full well you had the issue?? Why not just wait for a fix? It's sad not being able to play but I'm not going to ruin my favourite game for the sake of being impatient.

I submitted my bug report. Hopefully if we give them enough specs they'll be able to solve this faster.

I'd probably be more mad about this if everyone else wasn't also behind on Endwalker cause of the queue times.
Even when the patch and the raid drops there'll be people still getting through the MSQ. It'll be fine.
