Hi, @rowanbol
The Apex Legends team is aware of audio issues mentioned in this post here. (No footsteps is mentioned)
After looking at your DxDiag though it seems like you could update to the latest build of Windows 10. Search "Windows Updates" in the desktop search bar to check for pending updates. Your video card drivers could possibly need a new driver update too. The link below can help walk you through on how to update your devices.

Hey Apex team!
I am an Xbox player and have experienced this unrelenting issue. Every time I drop by or am in a large group of enemies, my game sound BREAKS! I can't hear anything and it's as if someone tossed my game sound in a blender. Please fix this as it makes the game borderline unplayable in those crucial situations.

Moved your post over here. I mentioned PC above since they were on that platform, however the team is aware of audio issues affecting both PC and console platforms. Details here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Respawn-Check-in/m-p/7740996#M17255

@shjduhdudhu Hi, I've seen some PS4 folks who have this when they use certain SSDs for storage.
Can you try installing the game to your main HDD, if you do have it on an SSD, and check if the issue persists?
Thanks.

You guys need to post more on twitter or something to let people know what you guys are aware of and what you are not aware of and what you are trying to fix.

It happens sometimes, maybe 1-2 times if I played 4-5 hours. Sometimes the game turned to mute or partial mute in a sudden, e.g. I could hear the footstep but couldn't hear the gunshots, or sometimes the audio delays, like you hear the voices 3 or 5 seconds later than the voice actually occurred, restart the client or start the next game would solve it.

Literally every Time I Land somewhere where 3 or more squads are fighting my sound is completely * up.
My friends are having this issue aswell and it has been happening for months and the developers haven‘t done * about it.
Makes thegame unplayable.

1st off Dialogue Volume is either 0% or 100% Volume, no in-between. Footsteps for team mates are far too loud and sometimes I can hear my own footsteps twice. Also 90% of the time, I dont hear enemy footsteps even when its dead queit with no action going on. Also while yous are fixing audio, fix the audio in Airbase where it sounds like someone is redeploying in.

Aaaarrgghh!
PS4 / UK
The amount of times today I have had sound distortion and lag combined with no sound cues from the enemy and I get ambushed.
My ping is 12ms / Download is 62.3 mbps / Upload is 10.1 mbps. The issue is not my end, it is infuriating, when is the patch coming for this?

Hey all,
An update went live today and here are changes related to audio. We appreciate any feedback you can provide after playing for a day.QUALITY OF LIFE
-
Lowered the master volume of all sounds during the character select screen through the end of the drop sequence.
-
Lowered the volume of Wraith's ambient kunai knife sound for those who are sensitive to the sound. If it is still bothersome we will remove it in a later patch.
-
Increased the volume of close proximity enemy footsteps for all Legends.
-
Increased the priority of enemy footsteps to ensure the sounds play even in heavy combat situations.
-
Slightly lowered the volume of Pathfinder footstep sounds heard from the first person view.
-
Fixed missing or quiet dryfire (out of ammo trigger click sound) and low ammo (the progressive change in sound that the gun makes as the magazine approaches empty) sounds for the R301, Hemlok, Flatline and RE45.
-
Increased the volume of the music that plays when winning a match.
-
Added more detailed audio to the Training mission.
