Audio popping issue

I started to have the same issue on iMac after 6.08
Never had issues before. This is odd, it seems to be "fixed" but now new reports emerge from players who had no issue.

I'm playing on an M1 Mac Mini and the "crackling" audio problems started happening right after the 6.08 update for me as well. I can mute the BGM, but it's not the same if I do that.

Another Mac M1 user here with the same crackling audio issues. started with the patch this week.

Also have noticed other oddities like outdoor ambient sounds inside buildings, the inn room and grand company barracks, for example, now have birds, ocean waves etc.

While it's possible to mute the BGM (which is not ideal, the music is an amazing part of the experience), it does still crackle in the other channels, it's just less noticeable depending what audio is playing. For example in voiced cutscenes it was noticeable.

Same issues as well. I've been streaming Final Fantasy soundracks and only keeping on the sound effects in-game.
