Bumping this up too. Never have I ever had this problem with any of the expansions. What helped me a little bit was changing the audio quality on my PC, along with going to dx9, putting listening position to character and lowerin the volume of sound effects. But it is still there. The audio is SHIT now, and I hate playing on dx9.

This isn't just ''lol it's your fault''. I have new games on my older game PC (Like Baldur's Gate 3, and that's graphically MORE challenging on my PC than FFXIV which plays at nice 50 ish FPS), and that NEVER happened there.

I may be fortuonate that I did not start at the launch of the expansion, but if this is still there, after almost 20 days and the fix did NOTHING then that's not us. I feel sorry for the players who have had this problem since the beggining of the expansion. This might seem drastic, but I canceled my subscription and if it is not fixed I won't be ressubing. I can just play other games with no problems that won't say that it is our PC's fault. Absolutely unacceptable.
