Anyone else's audio really quiet?

I have to constantly remind myself to turn my headset down when I switch from RE4 to something else because even with the in-game audio maxed out, it's still really quiet in my headset and I have to turn the headset volume to max. I don't have this problem with any other game.

MSSpatial.dll

This caused the sound in RE 7 to be VERY quiet and muffled. It exists in RE4 Remake for me but the sound has been fine. I think it you are trying to use spatial audio in the game for headphones, this file can cause issues.

Rename or move it out of the folder (in case you need to restore it) and try again.

All audio or just some effects?

All audio. Which really sucks if I get a message in discord because it almost blows out my eardrums. Have to close all other programs that make noise just in case while I'm playing this game.
