Dialogue volume is very low no matter the settings

[Utamaru]

I can barely hear characters talking during cutscenes and fights and it's ruining my overall experience with the game because voices are a big part of characters' charm for me. I don't remember having this issue while playing previous installment of the series. Tried the option that enhances dialogue volume but it didn't help at all, voices were still muffled. It's like characters are mumbling. Also tried various audio configurations (all 3 of them) - no luck either.
Does anyone know if this is the case on consoles or is it a port-exclusive issue? Hopefully it will get fixed in the next patch.

I'm having the same issues so annoying...

So, the game launched with an issue where sound was balanced as if Surround was in effect, even with Stereo enabled, which caused quiet dialogue. I had "fixed" it by setting the Audio Balance to Quiet and enabling Voice Boost. The recent patch should include a proper fix but I also had voice audio very quiet again after the patch. I went in and changed the Balance to Balanced and this seemed to fix it -- my guess is that it applied my "current" settings, which resolved the issue.

Maybe try changing your Balance to something different than what you have it set to currently and see if that does anything. I don't believe I did anything to toggle Voice Boost, but you could try that as well.
