Audio popping issue

[Toanon]

Especially because if this were a hardware issue, why didn't it manifest with the benchmark? That's supposed to tell us if our hardware will have issues or not. I didn't get uber high on that or anything but I still got High and had no sound issues when it ran.

They prolly didn't implement the sound engine updates into the benchmark. Though if it is a hardware problem, it's more than likely a compatibility issue, which means it's still an issue on Squeenix's side.

Also when I logged in today my sound was still bugged but it was a completely different sort of bug. For the past few days the issue has been choppy audio that cuts out in cut scenes and when many spell effects are going off at once, turning on the spatial surround thing somewhat alleviated that issue (it became intermittent rather than constant). But today the issue was that the sound just sounded seriously messed up, almost like I'm underwater or something, no bass and treble just washed out and distorted, and the weirdest thing is, turning the spatial surround OFF seemed to somewhat fix the issue this time. I have made no changes since I logged in yesterday to my PC or the game so it's weird to me that overnight my issue changed and the opposite suggested fix worked on it this time. So the issue itself doesn't even seem to be constant, different issues on different days just makes no sense to me. I really hope SE is making headway on it because we all just seem to be swimming around in circles attempting these suggested fixes that may or may not work and may work oppositely for different issues on different days. It's a real head scratcher if you ask me. lol

I also have the sound stuttering issue with the AMD FX-8120.

I'm also using an FX 8300 + GTX 1050ti

Oh my, we are definitely into something here

[ray_lunaria]

Its just a compatibility issue, they are going to fix it lol

No need to upgrade your rig just because of that

AMD FX 8300 here, having the same issues. Using a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB as well.

yeah, its all making sense now. i have AMD 6300 and gtx 1080. hopefully they know this is the issue cause the post on the forums was kinda vague in terms of "losing sound". our sound is there its just terrible.

I was running the latest dungeon when my audio began to pop like yours but then my combat/voice sound effects completely cut off.

I'm still online right now but I can only hear music/UI sound effects that occasionally stutter in combat.

Okay so this bug report the person is running an Intel i7 CPU so its not just AMD FX CPUs it seems. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...und-stuttering.
