Can confirm, changing power modes does *not* help with FX-related audio bugs.Hey everyone, wanted to chime in with my experience although it is different than what a lot of you outlined, I wanted to post my fix just in case there are others that happen to be in my position as well. So I was experiencing similar audio (and sometimes visual) stuttering that a lot of people have outlined since Endwalker released. I tried lowering all settings, exiting all processes, switching the audio channel, etc etc. Nothing was working (except switching to DX9 did help a little, but not completely) until finally I found that switching the Power Plan of my desktop helped. (Can be searched via Power Options > Additional Power Options). It was originally on "Performance" and switching it to "Balance" fixed all of my issues for me.
Keep in mind, mine is probably more of a very specific case where it was on my end, and doesn't have anything to do with the sound bug that has been confirmed, but it has been reported that Windows 10 has an issue with these power plans and bottlenecking applications.![]()
