Audio popping issue

I'm not sure if this information will be helpful or not. I hope so.

I found someone who created a mod for the FF7 Remake on PC that corrects this issue:

Why I believe this is the same problem:

I have a lot of games installed on my PC, and the only ones that suffer from this spatial audio stutter issue are the FF7 Remake, and Endwalker after the patch. I am guessing whatever spatial audio features they added are going to be a standard SE thing going forward?

I haven't explored modding at all for FF14...is it possible to modify the "au.SetAudioChannelCount" trait like this without breaking any ToS?

Good find! Fuck the ToS, the game is broken. If someone is skilled enough to mod ff14 - please try to do something about it!

Those are usually in a *.cfg (config) file. I'm currently poking around, trying to see if I can find one for FF14. If there is one, then it's usually just a case of opening the file in a text editor (Wordpad will work fine), finding that line, and then changing it - no mod needed. The problem is, since FF14 is an MMO, changing that might invalidate the self-check and FF will "fix" it whenever you start up the launcher. But it's worth a shot.
