Audio Issues Since 9-26-2022

I believe this was the first day it started for me. All kinds of sounds, including but not limited to: footsteps, gunshots, teammate communications (pings, ammo requests,etc.), and even the ring closing will have no volume when my in-game character is facing a seemingly arbitrary direction. For instance, in one game when I faced the ring closing in on me, it made no sound. When I turned 90 degrees to the right, I could hear it clear as day. I've never had this issue until around this time frame. It's really frustrating when an entire squad can be breathing down your neck and you don't have a clue because of something like this. Is anyone else having this issue?

Edit: I'm playing through Steam. Haven't tried playing through Origin yet because Origin has had more crashing problems in the past which started with the release of the map Stormpoint.

    @swift07 if you put the sound through a good stereo you might get the same results using similar eq settings. 

    No it's not the same, as you are not breaking the tos. The tos is very clear about file adjustment.

    But I understand about hearing no footsteps and how bad the situation is with that. I've played for 3 years in that situation, but the dts settings that I only became aware of recently on my xbox have really improved the footsteps.

    @OldTreeCreeper the issue we are talking about, is not about footsteps. It is a bug where you literally cannot hear anything behind you in a 180 degree radius.

    I've tried the settings you've suggested, and the audio sounded too high pitch, and it didn't help with footsteps. I've tried it for a few days, hours at a time. It might work for others, but it didn't work for me.

    @OldTreeCreeper I actually spent a lot of time searching for a solution and that's the only thing I've found, and it worked. I'm not changing things in order to gain an advantage over others, I did it to fix the audio, so that it would work as intended.
