Audio Issues. Missing Audio.
Hi, i have Audio issues since its launch i get disortet sounds from vaults and sometimes they dont even to the "beep" sound at all.
same with enemy/friendly fire the majority of my playtime gun sounds from others are missing. aswell as my footsteps, they are very dampening and it sounds strange i dont know waht it is but its still like this, i tought they patch it but they didnt.
is anyone else here having the same or similar problems with the audio?

Also my computer is pretty much brand new almost everything is a fresh install with latest updates so it cant be me it has to be a game fault.

- Sound software: Dolby Access.
- Head phones: Corsair HS80 max wireless headset.
- im using onboard sound card from the MS-7E12 motherbord.

"wireless headset", latency issue? Did you change the audio mix setting?

Onboard Sound Card says it all. Likely a RealTek driver issue. Like Rogue said, try changing the Mix Settings, change to stereo output and reduce the audio frequency to either 44.1Khz or 48.8Khz. Sometimes certain sound cards freak out going above those frequencies.

I am having the same issue too. I dont hear the enimies footsteps, my own footsteps, reloads, enemy fire, and so much more. I have checkd all my drivers, verified integitry of my files, reset my computer after all checks are done, and made sure thier were not issues with the audio mixes.

Its just bugged out... and MAN does it take me out of the experience... immersion gets broken so quick due to lack of audio in games, which is very much visceral feed back. and after only playing for an hour, which was getting through the tutorial... it becoming very hard to recommend this. I very much love my audio in my games and it really pains me to really recommend a game that at its very start has so much of the world ambiance missing. Game play is MEH, thus far, which makes this even harder to recommend.

I really hope the fix it...

I love audio in games too and when they all stopped supporting good audio, the Audio Card market dropped to nothing practically and Motherboards stopped keeping slots/room for those cards for some reason. Pretty much there isnt any games that go beyond 2.1 sound; youd have to use a matrix to go to 5.1 and NVidia Shadowplay chokes on itself if you try to use anything but 2.1. I did some gameplay recordings using 5.1... it didnt even record the sound for the first half of the game i played. Had to swap back to 2.1. Shadowplay used to record full surround audio until a Driver at the end of last year.

Sound in FPS games are critical for exactly what you just stated.

Since you are accusing me of actually researching YOUR ISSUE and that your 3rd bullet point was admitting to

- im using onboard sound card from the MS-7E12 motherbord.

Which your Motherboard
- MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard AMD X670 Socket AM5 ATX

uses the Realtek ALC1200 Audio Chipset and its drivers. It has slightly enhanced audio from the "Audio Boost" chip.

However reading additionally on your motherboard, it has a high Audio Chip defective rate where many users are reporting that the chip fails or audio comes out partially or no audio at all.

So please, im not some random thats just spouting replies. I do my do diligence to help with actual research, my own and shared knowledge.

Here is the official MSI Driver Page specifically for your motherboard

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-X670E-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/support#driver

I bid you good day.
