Audio popping issue

OK, you could try one thing. Start the game, then start the task manager, click on the "Details" tab, search for ffxiv_dx11.exe, then right click on it, then click on "Set Affinity" and then unselect all CPU cores but leave two cores selected.

I am too angry to sleep so I gave this a shot. First try, my game locked up and then crashed. Second try, my game lagged the heck out and the audio started stuttering even worse than usual, then it locked up, and it kept going back and forth until I killed it with task manager. Third try, the game burned down, fell over, THEN sank into the swamp. I hope it works for someone out there, but I'm done chasing wild geese. It's not on us to fix this.
