Audio popping issue

[LegolasLover2003]

I didn't notice this issue until I was farming FATES in Il Mheg last weekend. I had to shut off all sound to make it bearable. Got boring without sound...

Now though, I'm working on MSQ and am in the house at The Great Work and the steam machines seem to be causing the popping sound issue for me now. I'm not sure if it's the instance I'm in or what but I've never had sound problems with MSQ before either.

I think the update made it worse... because until that update, I was fine.

Like many others, I have Realtek too.

I had this problem since launch, but it was only in fights. Since 6.01 it's now all the time and I have to turn off all audio to play really sad I can't enjoy the sound or music. I also noticed the frame rate dropped massively since 6.01 and I wonder if it is linked. I tried playing with settings in game to lower quality with no success on either fps or sound. I read about it being experienced only with AMD motherboards with non-AMD processors so that could be why, but buying new gear with the current global shortage is expensive or impossible.

I hope they fix it soon! In the meantime, I play with no sound so I can at least enjoy content.

Nah, it's everyone, AMD or otherwise. It's not a processor issue at all, my friend. It's on their end.
