Yea your not using a head set. I use the wireless turtle beach and can hear everything around me and can tell what legends they are. (Don’t buy the wireless turtle beach only last for like 5 hrs. Good sound and pick up just super annoying to recharge
Nah, this game has serious audio bugs. Many people, like myself unfortunately, deal with them. I have a pretty good headset before you ask.
In fact, I was just killed in a game because a bloodhound was able to walk right up to me and empty have of his mag into me without me hearing a single sound- remember this is at near point blank range.
No he wasn't a cheater.
I'm not the only one experiencing audio bugs like this, go check out the bug section or google it. I can drop hot and literally have no sound for a full 2 minutes then sound will just come crashing in a like a wave causing massive ear ra-- trauma.
Community ManagerThanks for taking the time to post and share your feedback with everyone.
For those seeing an issue with audio, can I ask on what platform you are playing and what audio device you are using?
If for example, you can only play audio in stereo then you need to ensure that you select this both in-game and on your system, if for example you have stereo headphones and are outputting sound in surround then you will see issues.

@EA_Darko I'm on PS4 using Astro 40's on optical setting.
Audio was fine at launch, but over the past few weeks I have had the same issues as OP. Audio fine, then out of nowhere a player has run (I mean run, no walk or sneak) up on me without a sound.
I can't tell if it's certain characters or across the board but it's frustrating when it happens.
I have tried my headset on surround sound and stereo since noticing this and it seems to occur no matter which setting is used.
Like I say, this was not happening at launch, but started maybe 3 weeks ago for me.
Community ManagerThat it works fine when plugged directly into the remote @unogobangbang and no when over Bluetooth I assume, points to an issue with the dongle or interference in the room. If it was an issue with the game then it would affect all setups.
Can you try plugging your headset into the TV directly to see how it sounds?

Not using bluetooth but I have no problem with the game, it is just playstation. Works fine with other games.
Dr_Disrespect has this problem on PC as well, I think it might have something to do with certain headsets. I have a cheap headset I bought off eBay and I can hear enemy footsteps clearly.
@MekaDeth555DrDisRespect always rages at the audio in games. Not saying there isn't an audio bug somewhere but he does do that in every game, such as PUBG, Fortnite etc.

Same issues for me on PC, Win 10
People can literally shove a peacekeeper up my cheeks and I would be oblivious to it until he pulls the trigger.
Astro A50 in stereo mode has great footstep sounds, except I cant play with them for more then 1 hour to have my day ruined by headaches
GSX 1200 pro Dac & Amp Sennheiser with either HD600 or GSP500 open back headphones, nill footstep sounds
Yamaha Mixer MG10GU or onboard Realtek chip, almost nill footsteps, while my friends go, OMG footsteps 24/7 and all I can make out is, I think I heard something /peacekeeper repeat
IT is super anoying as playing a BR without enemy sound que's is like playing it on hardmode
And no people need to stop with the, oh but my sounds are fine, do you even headphone bro, I can assure you, yes I do with the above hardware.
Please Fix, it is super anoying.

If that was a shot at me, I wasn't trying to be facetious by asking if he used headphones, this issue seems to be happening with certain headsets. The more info the Devs know the faster they can fix the issue.

Sure thing Darko.
I'm using a Logitech G230, which is a stereo headset, audio output for everything is set to stereo. Im playing on PC. I saw a thread that featured a video which displayed something very similar to what I experience and the OP said to make sure the default frequency (from the windows playback device properties) was set to an appropriate level. He claimed it worked for him.
I initially experienced good results but it likely was a sort of placebo effect. The problem is as bad as it was before.
I have a good video of it I had ready to post but it had a lot of swearing in it ....lol. since it's supposed to feature audio I can't really edit it. If you'd like I can pm it to you.
I'll try to get a good video of it and keep my cool next time and make a detailed bug report.
