Audio is pathetically bad
I'm on a roof, this guy sprints through the entire building, goes through a Wattson fence, climbs a wall, pulls out a gun and shoots me dead. How much audio actually registered out of all of that? N...

Relevant question: how do you know what this enemy player did exactly if you did not hear any of it? I'm curious.
[Edit]
Just wanna say. If your headphones do not support digital surround sound, having either 5.1 or 7.1 in your settings is the reason you have missing audio, since signals are being split to channels that don't actually exist. And therefore not heard in your headset.
If you have regular stereo headphones, use stereo audio settings.
- @Wingmannedbro That's funny. Oh right, game audio is not messed up, it's just that my headphones are trash!! Awesome!!

Awesome!!I'm saying it may be a settings issue, this problem was talked about before on the forum involving CM's where the game would not switch to stereo output due to soundcard settings being grabbed by the game, which caused people's client to use surround settings like 5.1 or 7.1
That doesn't mean stereo is trash, but driver setting are required to be compatible with the hardware that is being used.
If you wanna hear actual trash audio. Specifically footsteps give Fortnite a try lol.
@Wingmannedbro as I've very poor hearing in one ear and not great in the other, directional sounds are very difficult to pinpoint, esp footsteps, which can be a problem in apex in some circumstances. I can't wear headphones as that damages things further, upping the volume of the tinnitus.
Fortnite has a circular sound onscreen display which includes footsteps. I find this very handy as I'm sure others do. I would love if something like this was included into a future Apex update.
