Any way to fix the Sound Quality?

[Creeper of Doom]

I got AC Valhalla recently, 10 Hours in… The Sound Quality is REALLY bad, Am i the only one who acknowledges this? Nobody else seems to…

I have very good speakers, I tried AC Valhalla across three different speaker sets and a different computer and OS and it’s no different so it’s very clearly Ubisoft who compressed it beyond belief

Knowing Ubisoft they would NEVER fix this, No Reviews seem to mention the ear torturing sound quality. It’s impossible for the community to fix this themselves because they don’t have the assets

There is no option to get a Higher Quality Variant. It’s difficult to understand dialogue without enabling captions

It’s enough to give me a Migraine. I have to stop playing various times because that would occur… Goodness gracious

You can try two things

1. Turn on Dialog Boost
2. Set Dynamic Range to medium

I have it set to Night because it seemed best?

The fact that its nearly a health hazard seems ridiculous. Paired with the audio being Quiet in the game its just inaudible completely. Maybe this is Ubisoft’s way of saying "Play with the sound turned off"

What’s next is AC Shadows just gonna have no sound at all or all the sound in it will sound like it was recorded on the cheapest microphone on earth

Didn’t seem to fix it. I really don’t understand why its so compressed

I have very high quality speakers so this is a problem with the game itself

Made me delete AC Valhalla, If i continue to play it it might damage my ears, If i already get migraines playing it due to the sound quality then i don’t want any worse effects on my health

How come no reviews mention it?

I have a very good Sound System. It’s very clearly an issue with this game in particular. I dont seem to be alone with this issue

Other Games that don’t have Sound compressed to heck and back have amazing sound quality. But this one is painfully bad… The Sound Quality would make a world of difference if it were fixed up (never gonna happen) because i can’t even imagine how it would sound if it were high quality.

No, I agree, it is bad and very curious why it was done. To save space? That is what Ubisoft says but that doesn't sound right. I read somewhere that the audio runs at 70kbps! Yikes
