Damn, that's unfortunate. If FFXIV doesn't take exclusive control, then this fix doesn't work on Windows one last thing to try would be to disable all other sound devices with those two tickboxes on. Having multiple sound devices on, FFXIV might not activate exclusive mode (if it ever would).

Regardless, exclusive mode means no other app can produce sound, or take input. So no discord voice chat whilst gaming for example. It doesn't bother me, but it would many. So the fix is definitely welcome and luckily will come soon!
