Uhhhh I suddenly lost all audio?

[Misan]

So this is really weird.

I was doing a dungeon in one of the Stormblood areas when all of a sudden I lost all audio from the game. The game is not muted, I double checked it and I have a keybind for it, the game is not muted from windows and every other audio source still works.

I got almost 600 hours into the game with the trial and this is the first I've encountered this weird issue.

Found at least one steam thread on this, and some forums threads.

Super weird, never seen a bug / glitch like this anywhere.

If your comps default sound device changes by like plugging in headphones or something it bugs out sound just restart the client to fix it.

This just recently happened to me a week ago. Was running a level 80 dungeon and right at the start the audio just cut out. Afterwards, I just relogged and everything returned to normal. Couldn't explain it and chocked it up to just a bug/driver issue. Once in over 800 hours.

But I haven't plugged or unplugged anything, and my jacks are not loose.

This has happened to me, very rarely I'll lose all audio just for FF14 and it'll come back after my dungeon. I've only experienced this in dungeons, but I hear it can happen in trials too.
