Audio Bug Fix

[Mostlyghostly♫]

The audio balancing in this game seemed really out of whack when i first started playing. Deafeningly loud dialogue, muffled sound effects, bad directional audio. Disabling audio drivers, trying virtual surround sound, using a usb soundcard, etc., all didn't help.

Turns out just messing with the in-game audio settings screwed the sound up.
What worked for me was setting all the audio sliders to max and lowering my Windows volume.

Just putting this out there in case it helps anyone. Good luck!

Also for new players, I'd seriously recommend installing this game on an SSD. The load times are insane on a HDD.

Finally! That fixed the whole audio output for me. Even turrets and mimics have sound now.

Dunno why the audio sliders for this game are so messed up.
Hope you enjoy Prey!

Unbelievable. It worked.
Also unbelievable that this was shipped like this AND was never fixed.

And sound effects are still too low and voices are loud af. Nothing changes.
