Garage Stereo Volume Issue

[Donovan Zanz]

Anyone else having an issue with the stereo in the garage being barely audible? I noticed last ween when coming back to the game for the first time since launch and did not have the issue before.

I reported it last week, but after playing today, I noticed that what it seems to be doing is treating the stereo as if it's playing only in the car (or treating the player as if they're still in the car) and based on where you are in orientation to it, you would need to open the corresponding door to hear better.

For example, if on driver side (like at the paint rack), then the driver-side door(s) being open helps hear better, but not the passenger-side door(s); trunk open helps audibility in rear/fabrication area/outside of shop, etc. The audio in general gets louder with the more doors that are open, so with all doors/trunk open, I manage to get the same level of sound anywhere in the garage (and surrounding area) that I remember from my play-through immediately after launch.

Is the jukebox in the garage actually turned on?

There's a bug where it may appear off and be on, or vice versa.
Try turning the jukebox on/off again.

When the jukebox is off, you'll hear the audio from the car only, and therefore hear that audio better when you open a car door.

Yeah, and that's the issue. The jukebox is on because if I'm actually in the car with the radio off and doors closed, the stereo is muffled as expected (like, almost completely inaudible, nearly inaudible just standing by the car if the internal radio is off).

I get it. It seems to be a load issue too.
The same issue that seems to plague the Fax Machine as well (the one that always beeps when you load in).

I've tried to fix it via mod, but while I can make both be off at load, they're supposed to detect whether or not they are active at load. ON or OFF in the case of the jukebox, or if it has new "messages" in the case of the Fax Machine.
