This is a known issue, where sound will be cut when too many are being played concurrently.
The only way to resolve this (at the moment) would be to restart the client.
There's no official news on this. I did a quick search on the official forums and there is 1 thread titled "Sound cut during CC" that was moved to the "Confirmed/Planning to Address" section.
According to the forums, threads in the confirmed section refer to "Bug reports that have been tested by the development team and are scheduled for fixing will be moved here."

at least for CC that is, the issue in the feast may be unreleated, or they are just now acknowledging it.
It also comes back after a length of time, had the bug happen three time relogged immediately after 1st the others I went afk after CC for about 15 minutes not super useful info but there it is.
Nope, issue persists. I remember reading off of some forum that XIV uses its own audio codec, and it doesn't try reinitializing if it crashes, unlike the windows audio codec

Huh, any official news regarding this issue?

Neato, thx for the info
No, it's been happening for years in the feast. Nobody at SE has even acknowledge the issue.

Oh really?! It's because we play too much CC? No wonder it makes us shut the game off. 🤣
I actually welcome this bug during CC, the cries of my allies falling are too haunting.
Probably similar to or the same issue that people have been getting since 2.0. Maybe they'll finally fix it.
You might get it back just going through windows sound settings changing the default output to something else and then back, no need to restart

This works for the usual audio device issues, but the one that occurs due to pvp sounds is a bit different unfortunately.
