Thread: Sound Issues after 6.01

In the update notice it was stated the sound would be fixed, simply put, its not even after lowering my sound settings on my configs. Now running 24bit, 44100 Hz. The only difference is that intermittently the sound gets better for a second to then progressively gets worse. This only seems to happen when sound effects happen, but when it does it distorts all sounds the game would produce. Sounds from other apps continue to work as normal.

Came here to see if anyone else was still having issues, and yep. The sound issues on my end seem to be worse than before the patch. As soon as skill effects start flying the audio locks up and begins stuttering terribly. Everything else on my computer works fine.

I had no issues with audio prior to this patch. I'm now having issues with audio having almost no bass or low freqs now, particularly on combat effects. Some effects are just straight-up distorted as well.

Yep. Been having this issue since 6.0. It's been terrible. As stated everything is good until skills start going off.

I've had this issue since Endwalker and somehow it's gotten worse after the patch

Same its really bad when using skills but ive also had some sound issues with music aswell

Been stuttering with music since 6.0 and now it seems to have gotten worse after the patch. Lowering the rate even to CD quality didn't do jack (and it was one of the laundry list of things we had already tried in another thread to troubleshoot this ourselves).

Ok the problem still exists... pls do something Yoshi

Patch definitely made it worse. There was chopping and stuttering in 6.0, but turning sound off and on again would fix it (for me, at least). With the 6.01 patch, sound has turned into complete garbage. As soon as skills start getting used, the audio quality explodes, it sounds like someone running rocks in a blender. Even after combat is done, music and ambient sound is choppy and distorted. Dialogue is broken and unintelligible.
