I've been having a problem for a while now with my audio. It's strange because it does not impact overall performance of the game. But in the background it sounds like city chatter or chatter that crops up as part of the games ambient noise when there's a lot of players in one spot.

I've tried updating my drivers, I've tried validating files and googling all over the place. Only thing I haven't tried is a fresh install of XIV, which I would prefer to avoid.

It's not hardware related as this does not happen in ANY other game.

System specs:
Windows 11 64-bit Home Edition
16GB DDR4 RAM 1200 MHZ
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 Dual Core Processor at 3.6GHz
1TB SSD
GeForce RTX 2080 Super
