Audio stutter problems

[EvilKiwi]

As others, I come here with Audio stutter Problems that occur randomly and are still persistent. This has never happened to me in any of the expansions, only when I started Endwalker this started to happen. All other games I have on my PC do not have this issue.

While submitting this report I am playing on DX11, with the game on Standard Desktop with only minor tweaks. My audio is on 41Hz, 24bit and FFXIV is set High priority in task. While Going to DX9 and putting audio on 41 Hz 16 bit severely reduces this, it is not a fix in my eyes.

Date & Time: Since 17.12.2021 Everyday
Frequency: It can happen anytime and everywhere. While standing or just running around, around big enemies, or even if attacking one mob. During cut scenes.
Steps:
Here are more detailed steps in this post: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post5772662

Basically it can happen: when loading in a new area, while standing doing nothing, killing a mob (more specifically more than 2 mobs), during cutscenes, bosses really loud sound effects that overpower everything else, character listening position being less than 99, equalizer on anything other than standard. During this, the end of a voiced line is always cut off.

Other questions asked to answer

1. What are your Character and Object Quantity current set to?
I have tried every option. It is currently again at Maximum. It makes no difference.
2. What other applications do you have running in the background while playing FFXIV?
Only Firefox and Surfshark VPN.
3. Is your audio device set as the Default Device? (Yes/No)
Yes
4. Would the issue persist when playing the game in DirectX 9?
Yes, but only very very rarely. However that is not a fix in my eyes.
5. If you use a gamepad, does the issue persist when you unplug the gamepad? (Yes/No)
Do not use a gamepad
6. Does the issue persist when you have the in-game Equalizer Mode set to Standard? (Yes/No)
Yes.
7. Does the issue persist when the Listening Position is set closer to the Character? (Yes/No)
Yes. It is way worse if it's near to Camera. I have to have position at 100.
