IN-GAME AUDIO IS BROKEN

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug IIN GAME AUDIO IS BROKEN, MIX IS ALL OVER THE PLACE
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with a headset
What happens when the bug occurs? You can’t tell where the sound is coming from. Everything is muffled and flat.
What should be happening instead? Try older Battlefield titles and maybe Warzone with the same headset. Night and day difference.

‌

This was evident from the beta but i thought it was just a problem with settings: nope. I tried every possible mix but there’s no way to have a decent audio like in older titles. Again, no spatial awarness, it’s like listening to a mono speaker underwater. Audio in your games has always been stellar, please bring the guys back in the mixroom and make it shine as always!

Thank you!
Best regards

The sound is really bad, it was actually the first thing i noticed about the game.
It feels very flat. The Counter-Strike Beta from day 1 had better directional sound. That was 22 years ago.
Try finding a helicopter flying over your head, you'll have no idea where it is. It's frustrating.

It is not even the problem with positioning. It is hard to know from where bullets or vehicles coming, but pretty ok. The main problem is sound QUALITY. I watched few clips and videos from pc platform, and sound quality was pretty decent. Playing on ps5 sound feels like it was recorded in SD-quality. Especially it is noticable on some reloading animations and pretty all of explosions.
I have an example with SWS-10

You can clearly hear how bad tactical reload sounds, while the one with empty ammo is okay (but still not as good as it could be)
