Ingame Sound/Music extrem stuttering in battles

[Triple-D]

I've also tried every suggested "fix" with no success. Frustrating when voiced cut scenes stutter and dialog cuts off.....distracting to rotation flow during dungeons....open world stutters in random place....even alone in Inn rooms it stutters. Re-ran the Endwalker Benchmark with a "High" rating, and no frame rate or audio issues. Everything was fine until the 6.0 patch.

I know the Devs have a lot on the go right now, and Early Access is when they iron out as many bugs as possible before official release, just hope they're seeing these threads.

PS... THANK YOU DEVS.... we love what you do.

UPDATE: As proposed in a thread elsewhere, I attempted to install EMBODY'S Immerse Audio Gamepack Trial. Although this seemed at first to finally fix the issue, my PC blue screened in the middle of the first Voiced Cut scene after the install. I have no definitive proof yet that the plugin caused the crash, as I'm now in a 5.5K World Login Queue, but I find the timing very suspicious. More updates to come.

UPDATE 2: Installing the Spacial Sound plugin did not fix the audio stutters.

UPDATE 3: Last night, prior to the maintenance shutdown, I was still searching for a fix to the audio issue. In an unrelated to FFXIV Thread, I found some posts about similar issues with other gaming systems. The issue in those cases seemed to be CPU Throttling. After monitoring my CPU and GPU usage during game play, I concluded that the similarities were striking. It appeared that the poor optimization of the FFXIV software was causing higher than normal CPU use, and overheating the CPU, causing throttling issues as it attempted to shed excess heat. I increased the fan speed cut-off settings, and the more stable heat distribution almost IMMEDIATELY solved the stuttering issue. I know the Devs were looking into reports of audio issues and had plans to implement fixes with a future patch(not sure if that was included in last nights maintenance patch) so, hopefully if my discoveries don't help you, the Dev's hotfixes will.
