Hello!
When I boot up Final Fantasy and log in, my audio settings on my computer get all messed up. I can hear the windows sound for a device disconnecting. Turns out that while I'm playing the game my XLR mic keeps disappearing from the list of recording devices in the windows control panel multiple times a minute. When I boot up the game and I'm in discord, my friends tell me that the very second I log in my microphone quality becomes horrendous as if I have a robotic filter on it. Then it starts rapidly "unplugging" and "plugging" in the microphone. I know it's because of FFXIV since it starts and ends when i boot up the game and quit the game.
This is extremely annoying since every time the microphone "unplugs" by the game loses focus and my inputs are ignored.
