Remember guys, SE is not your friend, but it's a company, at the end of the day if they decided to let this under the rug... it means that they have hidden agenda that they don't want public to know... Why? Don't ask me, i'm just looking at the FACTS now. Official Lodestone is also PR for them, not communication from developers to players.

Patch 6.08 is the test, are they going to address what's happened or not, if not then i just think that's the PR thing.

I'm not mad, but it's kinda annoying for me that it broke me since the EW release...

Also, addressing the "toxicity" on forum, and be mindful... I think that this is not "toxicity" but confusion about "is my hardware is the fault? but I don't have this on ShB"

at least from me, I'm sad over mad because EW are having REALLY GOOD music set and it's sad that i have to hear crack or stutter EVERY TIME

For anyone using the Immerse Trial as a temporary fix, I only had three days left and was playing around with it, clicking on Make new profile reset my days to 14 somehow, considering there's around 10 profiles to make looks like you can keep it going for some time, so hopefully should last until the patch fix is in.

I'd just like to drop a quick: I'm affected as well.

[Grimno]

Well Maintenance has started.
Will this usher in a fix to eliminate the audio popping/stuttering/choppiness so many have been effected by since the launch of Endwalker?
Will it not help at all?
Will it somehow make it worst for more people?

We shall see...

Holy damn, I did not expect this post to get this big.
It's both a shame and a comfort to see so many share the same issue.

Here's to hoping the next patches completely eliminate this problem.

They've said they addressed this again.

cautiously optimistic but will need to see when servers come up

"The following issues have been addressed.
An issue wherein audio crackling and stuttering occurred under certain conditions.
* For players who continue to experience audio playback issues after the release of Patch 6.08, we ask that you consider disabling DualSense / DUALSHOCK 4 functionality."

Well, I'll see how things go once the servers are up... but I'm not feeling very hopeful considering I don't even use a controller...

I don't think it's about controllers too much TBH. The DualShock 4 functionality is something they added this patch, in the gamepad settings. Probably just have to disable it if you still have problems.
