Audio levels completely messed up now?

[Owl's Neck ☕]

Sunbreak updated made my player voice insanely quiet and sound effects in cutscenes besides voices practically inaudible despite my not touching any settings. Has this happened for anyone else?

[Viscule]

Happened to me, no idea why and haven't found a way to fix it.

my audio is now playing from wrong monitor

[Little Prince]

Yeah I also noticed the sounds were way off though I haven't touched anything. Even trying to adjust them after doesn't seem to make any difference.

[不良ヌルポインタ]

oh check your video driver update if using nvidia mine is fine now

[Skál]

it might be an internal audio recognition issue; if you go through older cutscenes all the roars from monsters are basically inaudible. Hope they fix this soon; it's not game breaking, it's just annoying to have their first impressions in this game be ruined.

Same. Monsters make no noises in cutscenes. My characters voice lines are all super quiet. If I turn the voice volume up to 100 they sound distant and echoey.

Like in a cave? That sounds familiar. Pun not intended. Could you make screenshots of your ingame sound settings and device manager?

Ive got the same issue. even updated my audio drivers and it still doesnt work.

[F4LK]

Same issue.

[Wacky]

Same here, also updated drivers to no avail

[ほうれん草]

This seems to be an ingame problem as it also appears to be a thing on Switch. We'll have to wait for an update on this one.

Any fix for this yet?

None that I've seen. Might be one of those weird inconsistent ones too, because my friend claims that she isn't experiencing the issue. gg capcom

From what I've tested, it seems tied to the Sound Effects volume in audio settings, and I've had to put it up to 80 to be able to hear monster and palico sounds in cutscenes. In quests and out in the world it seems totally fine on my usual 30ish, but yeah, during cutscenes it seems to get really low unless I've set it to 80+.

Which unfortunately makes combat very loud in game for me while I'm trying to chat with friends while hunting haha.

Hey there, had the same problem and still have it.
Like others said It is a Sound file problem.

Short version: Set in-game sound to 100 and change the volume through Windows settings. Should now fixed and every sound should be at the same sound level.

Somehow some Sound files are unaffected by the in-game sound Settings.

Found it out when I asked a friend if he doesnt have monster sound on cutscene. But he had it normally. Somehow he had his settings like mine and it worked for him. But then I tested the sound settings how loud the loud sounds are and they are the same at 0%, 30% and 100%.

Hope that will help you to fix it.

Edit: If you still have some sound gaps change settings from Headphones to PC speaker. somehow the Headphone settings boosts some sounds too much.
