Can We Get Better Audio?

Since EA/Respawn doesn't want to fix it, can they please higher someone who can? I keep getting little to no audio in fights where its 100% necessary to have audio fully working.

No, its not

- My headset
- Headset settings
- PC drivers

- PC settings
- In-game audio settings

Its Apex's own audio engine. A Gibraltar could do a full on tap dance 2 meters behind you, and you won't be able to hear it because the game is too busy not playing the audio, but you can hear someone shooting 60+ meters away.

Audio (By *Estimated/Guessed* Distance):

Far (60+ meters, to an extent):

Teammates: Too far away to care what sounds they're making, but I can hear their legend's call outs and footsteps

Enemies: Full audio can pretty much be heard, their footsteps, loud, their gunfire, loud, their grenades, loud, the fact that someone threw down an EVAC tower, loud

Near (30-59 meters):

Teammates: Same as the far distance, not quite close enough to care what sounds they're making, but their footsteps are loud and often sounds like an enemy player, and I can hear their legend's call outs

Enemies: All audio, besides footsteps, (for the most part; once they hit around 40+ meters, you can hear it). Its sometimes hard to hear legend abilities

Close (0-29 meters):

Teammates: Footsteps, gunfire, legend call outs, abilities, grenades, etc. can all be heard, often overrides any and all enemy sounds as they play way too loudly

Enemies: Zero, you're lucky to even hear their gunfire, let alone their footsteps, and good luck if they throw a grenade or Fuse's knuckle cluster at you, because you're not going to hear that 99.9% of the time
