Hi!

Anyone having a very annoying popping audio issue since Endwalker dropped? In the link below you can hear the problem yourself. (WARNING: CONTAINS 5 SECONDS OF FIRST DUNGEON SPOILERS)

If you don't wanna see the video, the quick rundown is: Randomly, anywhere or at any time, the audio will "pop" at a very loud volume and rate. As if you were turning your headset on and off 10 times a second, with a loud but fast static pop at the end.

I am 87% certain this a "game issue" since I played up untill yesterday's maintenance and 1.5k hours previous to that without ever meeting a problem like this. Also, this problem does not present itself in any other game.

The even weirder thing is that sometimes the voices in the cutscene will still be clear while the bg music pops, sometimes only the voice pops, or both of them pop at the same time.

Here's a few things I've tried to trouble shoot this:
- Deactivate DirectX 11
- Turn graphical settings all the way down
- Reinstall audio and GPU drivers
- Install the new 3d audio system third party software
- Reinstall the whole game (actually more like checking the game integrity option in the launcher that DID download the whole game again)

Any extra tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I do not believe this is a problem with my pc in itself, altough, due to exaustion of options, am starting to go down that route.
