What happened to the Audio?

[Malecite]

Is there something bugged with the audio?

COH has always been known for its deep impactful war tape style audio, COH3 has me turning my speakers up more and more to try and hear anything...

The game has no ambience, it sounds completely flat and as a result terribly uninteresting. Weapon sounds, which were always a staple, sound quiet and again everything has no... impact.

Seriously disappointed with the audio and ridiculously zoomed in camera this far. Otherwise the game is fun and seems to run well although the graphics look worse than COH2 by a large margin.

I don't think it's me, I'm listening to it on a 5.1 Paradigm system with an anthem receiver, again there is hardly any audio detail.

I even booted up COH2 and the difference is night and day.

Same here. I've really had to adjust the sound level way up. And I agree that the in-game sound effects need to be greatly enhanced. Very little impact audibly as it is now!

[Rhym3z]

I agree. very low audio quality and impact.

There's a sound quality option in your settings for compression. I don't know about the quality, but I can hear all the units shooting when I changed the compression

What the OP is trying to say is whatever dev on the team is responsible for the sound design in CoH3 did a terrible job compared to the dev that was responsible for sound design in the previous titles.

I'll never forget the first time I saw CoH 1 and artillery being called in. It was bombastic and devastating. CoH 2 was like a limp wrist version of that, but had some good points. Don't think I'll bother with this one.

Have to agree about the audio, has no bass
