It's impossible to play with this audio.
I literally can't hear my own footsteps because my Horizon teammate makes a constant loud cargo bot sound, while music starts playing in the background. How i am supposed to play decently? What is ...

@Redmattgame Please, name a few sound systems that are comparable / better.
@DoYaSeeMe To answer your question would be rather meaningless as I'm no software engineer or game developer but would involve a few google searches which should reveal a fair few systems & I'm not going to spend time looking them up & pretending I know them all.But if you generally believe that MSS is the best sound software for the game & you are content with the status quo then that's up to you.
- @Redmattgame A few Google searches won't do it, because there are tons of variables to be factored in. Some solutions provide a better environment for audio designers, while some offer a better flexibility, allowing programmers to customize and tune the implementation to their needs. Some work better than others with certain game engines, on specific platforms or for certain types of games, but be worse otherwise. Some have excellent, reliable support and documentation and are regularly updated, while others are difficult to approach until enough experience has been accumulated. Some can be easily integrated while others require a lot of tweaks to work. And last but not least, each of them has its own bugs. Where one doesn't trigger sounds, another one might crash or mess up the mix.
- @DoYaSeeMe But a few Google searches will show other games like Battlefield,Overwatch etc that may choose to operate on a bigger budget than Apex on sound quality & on what they may use instead.Just because 7000 (or 20000+ games you say) all use a cheap & chearful low-spec software but that number is still a relative drop in the ocean in the gaming world considering the software has been around since the late nineties.Will MSS still have credance in the next-gen era of PS5 & Xbox Series X/S over the next year or so? who knows.It does also beg the question as to why Apex is one of the last multiplayers to not have any next-gen upgrade or nothing remotely in the pipeline.
I get it though you seem content with the current audio status quo in the game so why change things on you're part.And if the MSS software is the best around why has virtually nothing been done to improve audio issues in the 10 seasons of the game.Could it be nothing can be improved & this is as good as it gets (I hope not).As I mentioned previously audio issues in the game have always been one of the biggest issues many players have in the game & nothing has changed & tbh I don't think they ever will.- @Redmattgame Not everything is about budget. Also, my disagreement doesn't mean I'm satisfied with the current situation. There's room for a lot of improvement but, as a dev myself, I know that these things take up a lot of time, it's not like buying a different set of headphones and be done with it. I'm trying to accept the current reality, which is forever a compromise and I lower my expectations to avoid disappointment, false hype / hope and vote with my wallet instead of wasting time telling others how to do their job or spend their money.
- @Redmattgame Lol you just gave the "I dont need to prove it, I just know" response. Good stuff!

Good stuff!No I didn't,try reading a quote fully instead of reading an extract & jumping to ones own conclusions,I said I am not a software engineer or games developer & wasn't going to pretend I knew by just looking on Google for answers.
Thanks for you're two bobs worth though Champ.
