Pre Endwalker the audio for the game worked flawlessly. For like 6 years. With the update a multitude of audio errors are being reported and the only formal response was that it was being looked into and maybe we should lower our sound settings.

Constant stuttering, popping, crackling when just trying to do the MSQ, let alone group content is ridiculous.

The only solution is to disable Ambient Sounds. This doesn't even address the multitude of other sound related errors being reported.

Hundreds of posts from users having the same issues but nothing is being done about it. The spatial audio option that requires a THIRD PARTY system you have to pay for is not a fix. It doesn't even work. Who thought that was a good idea? Fire them. Then fire them again.
