Hey, Legends.
There are some really great workaround solutions in here. We'll continue to relay community sentiment to the team and examples of where sound isn't quite right in game, but all the potential fixes you listed here to make the game a more enjoyable experience is super helpful and I wanted to take a moment to thank you.
If anyone else is aware of out of the ordinary troubleshooting fixes feel free to share them here so when others are searching audio issues they can find a great list in this thread.
Thank you again and good luck in Kings Canyon!- @EA_Blueberry Does the dev team have any intentions of informing users of a solution to the sound issues?
Its getting difficult to maintain teammates to play with when they get so frustrated by the sound that they won’t play anymore.- EA_Blueberry
The team is aware of directional audio issues and it's currently tracked on the Trello board.
Via Microsoft on Window update - KB4515384 (OS Build 18362.356)
"Microsoft has received reports that audio in certain games is quieter or different than expected after installing this update. At the request of some of our audio partners, we implemented a compatibility change that enabled certain games to query support and render multi-channel audio. Due to customer feedback, we are reverting this change as some games and some devices are not rendering multi-channel audio as expected. This may result in games sounding different than customers are used to and may have missing channels."
Workaround
To mitigate the issue, open settings in the impacted game and disable multi-channel audio, if this option is available. You can also search in the Windows Control Panel for third-party audio device control panels and disable Multi-channel audio or Virtual Surround Sound, if these options are available.We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in late September.
