Dialog audio sounds muffled, very low

[Selith]

The dialog/voice audio is quiet, and muffled kind of. I can't find a cfg. to alter settings for audio at all. Anyone have any ideas for this?

Thanks!

[Langor]

Is it just the voice audio? Load the game and go into game settings and turn down music and sound effects and keep voice turned to max.

[Selith]

I did that, doesn't help. The voice audio doesn't sound as good as the rest, it isn't as clear, or loud.

[Selith]

I wish I could explain it exactly.

Please post your audio configuration:

1. Press the keys WINDOWS (bottom left) and R.
2. Type DXDIAG and click the button OK from the Run window.

Audio tab: name of the audio controller (Name) and the driver date (Date).

I had this problem switching my sound from 7.1 to Stereo fixed it for me.

[Selith]

Viscari - I was wondering if that was it. Was hoping not, but it's sounding like it may be.

[Selith]

Fixed it. Had to switch center speaker/sub in speaker enhancements.

Errr... nevermind. It fixed it in my headphones, but not desktop.

Audio in this game is just awful, nothing to do with your own audio.

I am listening this on my studio headphones and the quality is just garbage. It's most likely game engine issue, because I've played other SPIDERS games (quite recently) and this has never happened.

Basically, this required them to actually fix the damn thing and release a patch, which they never bothered doing. This is why you have so many bugs, like your companions just getting stuck in the environment.
