New audio is S H I T

[PeachesNSalt]

I used to be able to pinpoint precise location of people based on the sounds. I could tell if they are above, below, behind, left right etc.Hell, I could even hear them crouching and know exactly where they are. I could hear them from far away, or up ahead. Now, the only thing I can hear are footsteps all around me, can't tell if above, bottom, right or left. Seemingly all around me. Shots too, I used to be able to know the distance from where enemy is shooting from, now its so dull. It's not as crisp and sharp sound. As if they added a layer of muffled tunnel sound over the audio. Is anyone else in the same boat, or ya'll fine with this new deaf audio?

yeah. i have no problems to locate someone.
spatial is just a technic word for 3d
without it you have plain stereo.

and make sure you disabled any sound enhanced features from windows !!!

The audio used to be so clean. I have over 2,000 hours in this game and a 3.0 KD. Im expereinced and used to be able to rely on even the smallest audio cues to win fights. Those days are over. With the new update the audio is muddy and unclear. Youre not alone.

RIGHT? I could "see" with the audio pretty much. My team relied on my callouts and good hearing. I tried so many different things to make it somewhat similar but to no avail. I am in shock some people are fine with it, or say it's even better. I can only assume they couldn't hear good to begin with.

Remember when hunt had the best audio out there? lmao guess thats gone too...

[Honeymonstis]

I use some mid tier headphones (audeze maxwell) and tested using dolby atmos or without. Tested without Cry spatial and with it on.
and the sound is worse in "new" hunt than old. Might be bugged for now.

+1
It got worse.

You could NOT point if they are above or below based on sound alone! You needed the map knowledge for that. You ONLY could hear if someone is below or above because you knew what surfaces there are walking on.

[Ulfric Sombrage]

That's perfect for me, I always had problems to hear on Hunt but now it's fine.

[Killswi†ch]

It's objectively better then before. It's more accurate. Kinda sounds like you're using virtual 3d audio which is garbage for accuracy.

[Chupapi]

its not as good as it were. u cant tell what floor ppl are one anymore, or behind the first or second rock... audio is bad now

[Cdzn]

A few games ago i can't understand where the player was above my head or next to me behind the wall. The sound is really bad

The CrySpartial option on initial launch, Ive not actually used just left as regular headphones in stereo.

Has anyone had any success with the CrySpatial at all?

Headphones on stereo and cryspatial on is the way to go. Vertical audio is difficult to get right. 1896 has improved in that regard too, but of course it ain't perfect.
