Audio issues with cutscenes in story mode?

[Evil Lord Hades]

My story-mode detail is a lot worse than pre-fight quotes and in-battle quality.

The audio of the cutscenes is very muffled, I barely heard specific characters talking in a particular scene, but when the fights start, its perfect.

Anyone else getting this?

I cannot hear character voices. I am looking into the possibility that the game does not like surround sound, but i can't find speaker options. so far.

I am also having this issue. going to try and force stereo out of my PC to my receiver later and see if that works.

I think i MIGHT have kinda figured it out:

I changed my sound card setting (Windows 7) which was on 5.1 to basic 2 speakers and now i can hear the dialog.

My only conclusion is a bug that has the announcer and in game voices flagged to come through the subwoof really low instead of the speakers...?


idk it does work now, just doesnt make full use of my sound system anymore.


- I found this in another forum, and it seems to be working for people. Confirms my suspicions about the game not liking speaker configurations other than stereo. I have not tried it yet, as I am not home, but give it a shot?

I have that same problem and my speaker configuration is stereo.

not the same but also have issues with cutscenes... they are unsync for me :/
video plays first and a second later or so i hear the voices / impacts etc.

Config set to Stereo: For me the sound cut-offs (disappears) in every cutscene for 0.5-1 second then it comes back. This happens multiple times in every cutscene. MK X is the only game in which I have this issue. That makes the game unplayable for me (Story Mode).

I am having somewhat similar problems. In addition to no hearing any of the voices in the cut scenes I also get this odd popping sound coming from my speakers. I also have a 5.1 surround systemt and I am connected via optical cable. This is the first game I have encountered to give issues with surround sound. I wonder if they are working on the issue or not.
Sound is a big deal to me when it comes to the game and it almost makes the game unplayable. Switching between 5.1 and regular stereo is not that easy with this set up and has caused problems with other software like my media player. I think it is because of the realtek software. I am going to put my Soundblaster Zx card in this rig and see it that helps any. If not at least it is easier to switch between stereo and DDS.

please let us know if Sound Blaster fixes it, maybe its realtek issues that they have to fix

I switched it from DTS interactive (5.1) to 24 bits 96kHz studio quality and that worked perfectly. The last time I tried that on a program I had to restart the PC before it would work at all after switching back.

Has anyone else had a problem with DTS interactive (5.1)?

[TheBeekeep3r]

I dont have it on 5.1 - just normal stereo with 24 bits 96kHmz (ive also tried lower settings) and the audio still cuts off during cutscenes :(

[SneakyBreeki]

I use Dolby Digital Live (5.1) and I have the problem. But switching to stereo has been working for me, and because I don't have to restart my computer to do so, I am fine with this workaround. Still hoping for a patch to fix it at some point though.
