So for the last 2 weeks I've been experiencing problems with the G7 Scout. If i spam fire the G7, my audio gets increasingly loud to the point i nearly have to throw my headphones off my head. At first I thought it had to do with the Battlepass legendary skins leveling up per kill. But this is happening regardless of the skin I use and optic. I have up to date sound drivers through ICUE (wireless Corsair headset). Anyone else experiencing this and know of a fix?
I managed to fix mine this morning. I contacted EA help chat last night and they recommended unplugging USB peripherals and testing it then. I then realized that the G7 audio ramped up my discord audio as well while I was using my wireless headset. I "repaired" my Corsair ICUE software and the G7 audio stopped becoming distorted. If you're using any USB devices that include drivers, I'd reinstall or repair those programs to troubleshoot. Best of luck
