    So, with SE claiming to "fix" the audio stuttering/crackling issue this in patch, decided to do test runs on different duties. Just to make sure it is fixed on MY end (even if it was SE's client doing the stuttering).

    - Set "Listening Position" to 0 for this test, as it used to be 100 to help with crackling (it did little effect, but meh).
    - I had all sounds activated, minus Performance, all at max 100 for this test.
    - Dual Sense / DUALSHOCK 4 functionality was turned off for this test.
    - Player combat effects turned off minus my own
    - Was on healer role for MOST of these
    - Some duties I unsynced and solo'd them to save time. However, even when I did this BEOFRE 6.08, there was still audio stuttering for a lot of them during combat/fight mechanics.

    Below I will list the duties I did that have no audio crackling in (for me at least). Did a few in each expansion to be sure about it.

    A Realm Reborn
    - Titan Normal: Didn't experience anything, so safe to say it's good.
    - Shiva Normal: Same as above.
    - Sastasha (Hard): Nothing reported out of the ordinary.
    - Snowcloak: No isuses during boss fights/mass pulls with audio. BGM didn't glitch out.

    Heavensward
    - Alexander: Soul of the Creator: No audio crackling. Did experience it before 6.08, but was crystal clear with BGM Intact.
    - Ravana Normal: No audio glitching was heard!
    - Sohm Al (Hard): No crackling was heard. Did have issues in big pulls with combat stuttering all over the place before 6.08.

    Stormblood
    - Emanation (Normal): Did experience stuttering before in this duty before 6.08 patch.. No crackling/stutter during combat; Audio was clear.
    - Shisui of the Violent Tides: No audio crackling/stuttering at all. Had a bit before the 6.08 during boss fights mostly.
    - Deltascape 4.0: Had audio crackling before 6.08, but now it's crystal clear! Didn't hear any radio static at all.

    Shadowbringers

    - Dying Grasp: No audio crackling/stuttering when I experienced it before 6.08.
    - Eden's Promise: Eternity: No radio stutter at all.
    - Dohn Mheg: No crackling was heard, which I experienced before 6.08 in big pulls mostly.

    Endwalker
    - Asphodelos: Fourth Circle: No audio crackling/stuttering during combat at all. This used to be a very bad duty to get through because of audio constantly cutting out. Glad to report I had no issues during this.
    - Smileton: No combat stutter/crackling after 6.08, glad to report!
    - 89 Trial: No stuttering/crackle at all! So happy about this one, because the music is NICE.

    I feel they have fixed the audio stutter on my end, or at least, found what was affecting 'most' CPUs with this problem. Just wanted to report my findings for others to know about. Maybe do your own test runs to see if it's fixed for you.
