EA - I am also noticing bad audio!
I made this reply to someone's post, that I too do notice audio issues with Apex: ========================================================== Funny I start seeing mention of Audio issues, right when...
Forum Discussion
@xpl0its If you’re not dependent on communicating I’d say just use ‘normal’ ear/headphones. Alot more audio for a lesser price. 100 bucks beats high end headset easily if you buy a decent brand. I should know, I own several of all three categories.
@Koochi-Q On the aforementioned OP i stated i was using razer kraken tournament editions, gotta say they're vastly superior to the headset i had before.
I think whether you invest or not should be based more on the frequency with which you'll use them lol. 😛
I agree 100 bucks is gonna be a complete waste if you're a casual game or playing very few sound/communication orientated games.
- @MandatoryIDtag True true. That’s why I said if he doesn’t play often while communicating. I know I never communicate when playing the game, so if I just buy some bose ear/headphones, I’d be more than happy. Cause as soon as I finish gaming, I can just unplug them and use them on my phone.
If you want a cleaner sound, buy an amp compatible with the console, plug that into the S/PDIF socket, plug the ear/headphones in the ‘mobile’ socket and enjoy enhanced sound.
That’s still better sound than a 200-300 pair of headphones in most cases and costs less... (unless you get the amp xD in that case you’re likely at the same price point, BUT with better sound)I understand what everyone is saying.
I come from an IT background, I see a difference in Audio quality in the game, there tends to be a higher treble range in sound, along with a slight bit of compression.
I think for most people this might not be noticeable.
I personally went back and used a Clonezilla backup of my system, then uninstalled the game and origin, and Asus had an update for newer Realtek drivers which I installed, after going through all of this, I was able to achieve a better balance of sound.
But I do notice that the game is really picky when it comes to trying to add in Audio effects, like 7.1, or other gaming effects, reverb, eq settings, etc., it's not very forgiving.
I happen to be an extreme PC Geek, and I'm also an extreme gamer, I built my box, I have a Dual Boot Box; Slackware 14.2 x86_64 & Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise.
I use to game for many years in Linux too, and also using a lot of gaming emulators like Dolphin Emulator in Linux.
PCs and Gaming is my world, I'm a Junkie for it, and I probably play Apex on average 40 hours a week and possibly even higher, I'm also in the Winter Clan, so good headsets, communication, etc. are a must!
I am sticking to the HyperX line of computer peripherals, they are really great! I happen to also use, just in case anyone is reading this, the HyperX Alloy FPS 87 Key keyboard, it is amazing;

Later I'm going to get the Pulsefire Raid mouse, because I want a mouse that has a lot of buttons;
