It's crazy, I'm still having this issue. I've had my ambient sound turned waaay down for some time now. Crowd noises upon quitting the game, crackling/popping while flying on mount.Patch 6.08 is what started the audio issues for me. At first, I had some crackling and popping sounds with just wind while mounted. When I logged off and the game was shutting down, I would hear a second or less of the "crowd" noises. Then one day, I started having both these issues along with crackling and popping sounds going the whole time I play except when in a duty, unless I'm just not noticing it since I turned my ambient sound way down and there's as lot of sound effects and BGM drowning out everything else during combat. I'll have to double check this.
"We rise, fall, and rise again!"
This is happening to me too, although not always. I can't figure out what makes it happen or not.
EDIT: I managed to fix it, I don't know if this will help anyone but try disabling "limit framerate when client is inactive". For some reason, the game thought it was inactive and limited the framerate to 30, which caused the sound glitch.

Still a problem.
It still seems to be an issue in some areas right now. Coerthas Western Highlands while flying for sure. Maybe it's the snow. (I'm just kidding)
"We rise, fall, and rise again!"
I do get this issue from time to time. I thought it was my speaker at first.
Bump, still broken, 9 months and counting. Square turning into Blizzard-lite.
Still a problem on my end too! Considering they have addressed the audio stuttering issue a while ago and said it should be fixed now, it would be nice if there was any sort of sign of them acknowledging that it still persists, just so we know whether there is any of hope of this being fixed any time soon
It's been more than half a year, at this point I find it so grating that I often end up turning my sound off when I'm not dutybound ;;
It cleared up for me back at the beginning of the year for me. It's started to come back in the last week or so.
Here we are in 6.2 and my issue still persists while being annoying and distracting whenever I have sound on. At this stage I'm anticipating it'll be around for the whole expansion because that's how long the DX11 crashes took to stop happening in new content for me after they started in early Shadowbringers. SE offered very little help with them either besides the same repeated suggestions of just reinstalling the game and their radio silence on this issue is equally disappointing. Whenever I suggest the game to others now it's with the caveat that there may be tiresome bugs on PC that can take over a year or two for the developers to recognize and fix them.
