Audio Issues - Voices

[Xritsken]

Anyone else having issues with the Sound in the game making voices sound like they're whispering in an echo-y room and every other sound in the game just dwarfs the voice acting? It's really annoying.

I was JUST about to post this. Shadowheart and Laezel both sound like they audio is just insanely compressed or something.
Very quiet, and just bad quality sound compared to the rest of whats going on around me. Sucks the immersion right out.
The Narrators voice is perfectly fine though.
I swear it wasn't like that in the beta either, not sure what happened.

Not precisely that but I'm facing a similar problem. The entire game is substantially more quiet than it was in Early Access. To the point where it's legitimately somewhat hard to hear anything. On top of that everything sounds muffled a fair bit.

So I'm thinking they borked something with the update pertaining to audio. Given that there are pretty limited audio options this is a bit of a pain.

that too. I have my setup ALL the way turned up and its still fairly quiet. I went on youtube just to see and nearly blew my eardrums out.

Agreed. seems they botched something with the transition to release. Hopefully a fix soon.

I sincerely hope so. It kind of kills immersion trying to play a dialogue heavy CRPG with substantial voice acting when you need to pretend you're an 80 year old pensioner missing their hearing aid just to get into character.

I'm having the same issue. Voices during conversations and when my character speaks in game, are so so quiet.

same issue, WC dialogue

I think I fixed the sound for me. Try going into the your sound device properties or running a search for "Spatial Audio". I had mine with the "Windows Sonic for Headphones" enabled.

I turned it off and then loaded the game. Sound works perfectly now.

This worked for me too, It fixes the voices. Unfortunately, I don't have the issue with no audio at all. Sorry guys D:

Yeah I still havent made any progress - I cannot get any sound at all.

Definitely something messed up with their audio files.
