I have sound issues with voice/music volume being very low compared to the rest, no matter what I set their sliders to or what soundmix I choose. The only solution I found was using an external software called fxsound.

And no, it's not my rig, this is litterally the first time I have such issues. Every other game, movie, video, or program I use have no volume issues. At least none that can't be fixed by using Windows built-in loundness equalization, which in the case of HFW does squat.

We shouldn't have to use a third party app to enjoy the game, which is technically great in almost every other aspects.

What audio device are you using? A USB headset?

Good old fashion speakers, plugged to the motherboard 3.5mm jack

Hoping for a patch for audio issues. Logitech G933. Example of issue is when I run it is mostly heard on left side. Sounds horrible. Only game I have ever had an issue with the direction sounds are heard. Tried turning surround sound of but no luck.

Okay thx for that wall of text, but
Every other game works just fine. EVERY OTHER GAME. Even Horizon Zero Dawn works just fine. Same problem was with Last of us pc release but they fixed it in a week or two.
It's not just mine and this guy problem, if you use search and tap "audio/sound" in discussion theme's you'll see many topic's just like these one.
And probably you actually right and root of the problem is game doesnt naturally finds my 7.1 headset or other ppl sound systems, but its not our problem to solve. And i know they will fix it, its just sad that we are week and a half after release and that annoying problem still here

Sounds like your setup tends to cause this issue if you have had it before.

Then explain why I never had this problem before, but suddenly do now? It's not just his system, or anyone's system, and I would be very surprised to find out we all had the same/similar setups or that none of us had the properly updated drivers (because, spoilers, I do - I checked)

Not all issues are specific to someone's PC, just because you don't have that problem, and I wish people would stop trying to push that issue off and just try to be helpful for once.

They just fixed that problem(at least for me) one week ago.

Not sure what your exact problem was, but my Music seems to cut out ~30 seconds into the game (on the main menu). I'm assuming everything works normally to that point, but obviously I can't load into the game quick enough to find out

Either way, from that point on, the only audio I have in-game seems to be ambient audio like walking around, jumping, etc... Occasionally, the dialogue will cut in briefly, before going silent - So I tend to get a very small bit of certain sentences, others are entirely quiet

I'm honestly about to refund, cause this is just broken and unexcusable, IMO

I'm having the same issue as well it's so frustrating. Everything else is working fine but the audio is a major headache. The "selecting TV" for the audio option does increase the speech volume but it varies wildly per NPCs. Some NPC sounds like they're screaming at you, some sound like whispering. I'm hoping the next patch would address this.

This is the new Dolby-Kill-Dialogue and Surround-Mumble standard.
That standard is now widely used in cinema films but also some Netflix series.
It was only a matter of time before it was adopted in games too. xD

What you could do is to switch between surround sound versions, see if that solves it.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any options in-game for surround sound. If you mean the audio "modes" I've already tried fiddling with them and nothing changes

So looks like you got a way to special setup, I mean setup with my Logitech headset only worked after the recent patch.

It's just my TV, man... The sound only works for ~30 seconds, then I hear nothing except ambient noise in-game. That seems to be it in entirety. There are no other audio devices, it messes up with my headphones too (exact same issue), and no updates for my drivers or anything. Even did a complete re-install AND swapped from my External SSD to my internal C:\ Drive SSD with no changes

There's nothing "special" about using my TV to output sound, unless you consider the fact I don't have dedicated speakers because those messed up a while back and I have yet to replace them....

Edit: TLDR: this game is just broken, and IDK how TF you make is so pure audio, minus ambient, doesn't work but it's infuriating for a modern game to have such a basic issue for so long after release.

They fixed it for me with last patch btw. But for it to work i need to switch 7.1 to something else and then back for it to work xD But like Todd said - It just works. Hope they'll improve it
