Apex Legends audio problems

I'm having trouble with audio. When in game footsteps and gunshots do not play but when they do play, they are like 10 seconds late. Ill be able to hear music and lobby sounds perfectly, just in game my sounds are screwy. I have tried using my monitor's speakers as well and the same problem persisted. I tried reinstalling the game and also repairing but it did not do anything.

My gear:

Ryzen 5 1600
GTX 1080

8gb of RAM

Ethernet cable for wifi

Razer Kraken Headset

    It Is in fact hardware related. I'll be making a post about this to spread the word for what fixed this exact problem for me on BOTH pc and ps4... 

    On both my pc and ps4 I had a SSD attached for better performance  I've always installed my games on SSD. I spent a ton of money for High Speed M.2 and it seems that Apex Legends cannot handle it.

    All I did to fix the issue (after trying everything else  updating drivers, trying every diff sound setting possible, new headset etc) was uninstall on SSD and reinstall on HDD and boom, perfect audio.

    Hope this helps for you guys too

  • I dont know why they bring in new stuff and updates if the sound bugs out. They should fix it ive been spending money on this game and its working on my nerve. 

  • Same here since the latest update.  The Audio settings are stuck on 7.1 surround and I can't change it back to stereo in the game settings.

    Just so you know I don't have anything extra linked to my ps4. It's all standard from when it came out of the box. I've reinstalled the game. Completely restored ps4 like nothing was ever on there. Checked through audio settings an everything. Nothing fixes my issues. I will have a guy literally a gun length away an I won't even hear them. So if you think you solved the audio issue well sorry to say but you haven't. I use stealth 700s n I hear people on call of duty way before they get to me but on apex they will get right next to me without hearing them

    So what are you supposed to do if you don't have a regular HDD?

    I am having issues with Logitech g933 usb headset.

    It doesn't happen all the time, but a lot of times the audio is distorted and very low. It pretty much makes the game unplayable..

  • Since the patch (season 3 second patch) this is happening to me (PS4). Tons of sound glitches, like delays. I’ll heal and it won’t make the sound until a few seconds later. Same thing when my ult recharges, it sounds glitchy. I’ll ping an item and then my legend will say what I pinged 3-10 seconds seconds later, leave out a word or not at all. When I try to loot a deathbox the game freezes. It wasn’t like this before. Anyone else experiencing this and know a fix? So annoying I literally can barely play and spent money on all the battle passes, multiple packs and bought some special event item skins.  It’s not my headphones either, same thing happens when I have the sound going through my TV
