@WytchaFebruary (Don't know which year), @Kateh8sapex posted this:https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Octane-Audio-Broken/m-p/10077364/highlight/true#M73239In May, 2021, I posted this:https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Octane-Audio/m-p/10324134/highlight/true#M79587That got pretty much ignored, so in July 2021:https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Still-Can-t-Hear-Octane/m-p/10478805/highlight/true#M83254From what I've observed, they rather release reskins and event items, rather than fix some of the issues. Then when they do go and fix an issue, its one of the things that aren't even "game breaking" or a problem.They said they fixed audio countless of times, but its still broken in one way or another.

@Xx__Miku831__xXCan confirm that I heard the announcer from Fight Night when I wasn't anywhere close to Fight Night.@E9ine_AC I'm someone who uses a decent headset, I can hear things just fine, and more than some other players with different headsets.However, a headset shouldn't be what's giving a player the edge. All players should hear the same thing regaurdless of headset.And even though I have a decent headset - that doesn't make up for any audio issues the game has. My headset only enchances the existing sounds to be more surround sound. If the sound isn't playing - its not being enhanced or even heard at all.Octane can run at me and I can see the character stim effects, but cannot hear him most of the time. Since he's not giving off a sound effect - I can't even hear him, even if its somehow being enhanced.

@Midnight9746 They really need to fix the audio problemI remember a game that I played in olympus, somehow I am located in the Bonsai Plaza (the south part of the map) and I heard the announcer from the path's arena for no reasons. I had opened game's subtitle and it really showed the line of that (something like : A new challenger has approached...) . Just what, I was in the other side of the map. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)*I am sorry that I didn't capture a photo for this so I can't show you any evidence for this.

@Midnight9746 Hey look it's me!And yeah audio is still completely busted. Octane still makes no noise while jumping. Constant audio bugs. Inconsistent footstep sounds. I could make a whole grocery list of terrible audio. The devs just don't care.

@Kateh8sapex Oh hey, look, it is you!Yeah, footsteps are very inconsistant. Sometimes it sounds like someone is there, but there isn't anyone, other times it there's no sound and then its a full squad.You can hear the trident from 3 named map locations away, you can hear gunfire 200+ meters away, and it doesn't make much sense.

@E9ine_AC I also do not have much issues. I can hear footsteps just fine. My headset? Oh don't ask. Its an earphone set, or whatever, that I used to plug in my old iPod 4. Its not even a headset at this point. Is it? I don't know.

Hyper X Cloud Alpha S, and I can't hear a single sh*t starting from zipline takes, ending with somebody literally jumping or running towards me.

@E9ine_AC You are literally a single person out of thousands and thousands that experience issues. What do you think is more likely, that everyone is a cry baby who blames no audio to cover up their mess ups? Or that you have a superiority complex and can't grasp the fact that just because you don't experience it doesn't mean it's not there? No need to reply to me as I won't continue replying to anything you have to say since I don't value your input in the slightest bit. Thanks!

After one of the last patches, I am hearing Octane more often, however overall audio seems to have gotten quieter. Things like healing and holding a knockdown shield out isn't as loud as it used to be. No idea what's even going on here.
