Actually, the audio isn't screwed, it just might be screwed for some users.
To me, the audio in Apex is exceptional. I can hear positional sound from the direction it is in the game world. Compare this to games like PUBG where there was no positional information and sound quality was disgustingly horrendous to Battlefield V, where positional sound was problematic (and footsteps were silent), but the quality of the sound effects was unreal.
Sadly, audio hardware (soundcards) and drivers and OS and physical hardware (and user) can all play a role in whether you hear what's intended.
- 5 years ago@Aegis_Kleais Well the audio did work but now doesn't.
Silent ziplines for example is a well known issue known to effect everyone. - 5 years ago
@Aegis_Kleais That might be from a PC perspective but I play on console.
And throughout the updates over the year have always noticed issues. And while after some patches it has worked for a little bit it is now bad again.

@ColdHours I think you're right about it being a console issue, and if its an issue at hardware level we're basically screwed lol.
That being said...early apex never had these audio bugs so it can't be surely? I don't know...i just know it's damn annoying.
- 5 years ago@ColdHours It's PC too.

I don't care what anyone is saying, the audio ques are a huge problem. It is worse because the audio is fantastic a lot of the times. I will hear players doing whatever a 100 meters away clearly but then another team will run/zipline/slide jump right up behind you and you will hear nothing until you start getting shot in the back. I literally had this happen to me 3 consecutive games today. It happens most often when you are engaging in a firefight so I believe it has something to do with the game not being able to load the extra sounds fast enough which may be why it seems to be more of a problem for us console players. If that is the case they should probably adjust how much background noise they have which is a stick in my craw anyway. who wants to listen to some Huge Dino or Train blaring when you are simply trying to pinpoint the enemy. That is the biggest reason I like the very first version of KC best.
