Seriously, guys? I am finding threads all over the place about this, and it has had an extremely detrimental effect on my and others' experience throughout Endwalker--to the point that I am, as someone who has been playing Final Fantasy XIV with no subscription interruptions since Heavensward, considering terminating my subscription permanently.
This seems extremely suspicious because this widespread glitch corresponds with the release of an audio plugin that requires an additional paid subscription. This isn't a hardware problem. This is a problem with something that changed in the audio engine upon the release of the expansion, and Square Enix knows it.
I am very disappointed in this expansion because of the audio issues. Please address this PROPERLY because it has only gotten worse for me after the patch released. I have tried every suggestion I have come across for this.
