Broken Audio is killing the game

Sound design in this game is by far the worst I've ever experienced in any BF game. What I don't understand is why only some of us are having issues with sound. Some think it's amazing, while some of us are extremely frustrated with it. I've posted about this many times before. I have died a ridiculous number of times because I never heard the enemy or couldn't pinpoint their direction when I could hear them. It's extremely frustrating because I have a pretty decent sound setup with headphones and speakers. I actually bought the speakers hoping they would make a huge difference with the game audio, but they made no difference at all. The latest patch only made footstep audio louder, but now they sound like a heard of buffalo surrounding me. The sound now completely surrounds me with no way to tell which direction they're coming from. Vehicles, including helicopters, are still completely missing sound at times. For the record, yes, I've tried all the different in-game audio settings. All of them. 

At first, I thought maybe these issues were on my end, but after reading many other posts on here and Reddit from others saying the same thing, I don't believe that's the case.

Hoping they fix the audio soon. Tired of dying because of it. Really tired, boss!
