Thanks again to everyone who submitted detailed information regarding the ongoing sound-related issue. Rest assured, the bug reports that were moved to the Duplicate Bug section have been also passed down and have been helpful in our investigation.

While it has taken some time to narrow down the conditions of the issue, we were able to reproduce it on our end.

We discovered an anomaly in the calculation process within FFXIV's game sound driver where the number of digits is not being adjusted correctly. Due to this, some CPUs with certain characteristics are unable to keep up with the calculation processes and have a high possibility of encountering the issue.

As mentioned previously, we noticed this primarily occurs on older CPU models that are around 10 years old, but have also confirmed cases on some of the latest CPU models.

We are continuing to investigate the matter and are working on a resolution to ensure that CPUs with these characteristics will be able to handle these processes correctly. Our current plans are to conduct pattern tests and release an additional fix in the next patch.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work towards resolving this issue.
Regarding the audio problems i found a specific way of reproducing it on my end (not sure if mentioned by someone else before):

I bought a house today and as soon as i changed the standard interior ceiling lamp (Ceiling Light) to the Star Chandelier, the audio stuttering began. Reverting it back to the Ceiling Light the stuttering went away again.

I also noticed going into the Barracks the audio stuttering appears, exiting the barracks made it go away again. This is the same for any inn I've entered.

Walking around in the barracks or inn's seems to reduce the stutter or let it go away completely until standing still again.
