Upshift Tone inaudible with headphones and no Speaker Type on console

@issueskid13 I guess this is up your alley.

I'm on PS5. The game is on the latest patch.

Two issues:

  • The Upshift tone is inaudible when using headphones, specially on the Ferrari engines, regardless of the sound mix. On TV it is audible alright. I've tested it on Cinematic, Broadcast and my beloved Driver mix, no dice. Cockpit and TV Pod cameras both, same thing. Also took the long shot of decreasing every other slider while increasing the Effects one hoping it would help, but it naturally didn't. The only way to consistently hear it is if I turn on Night Mode on the Speaker Type toggle – which brings us to the next issue...
  • There are only Auto and Night Mode options in the Speaker Type toggle. From what I could gather, PC version is working as intended and showing Headphones, TV etc in them.

Tested it all with:

  • Corsair HS70 Pro Wireless headset connected via the wireless dongle;
  • QKZ VK4 wired in-ear earphones connected through the Dualsense's headphone jack;
  • Sennheiser HD 598 connected through the Dualsense's headphone jack

By the way, congrats on the Driver Mix. That one is marvelous!

  • I'm having the exact same issue, except that I don't hear the upshift tone in Night Mode either.

  • Also my experience on PS5, tone varies between barely audible and inaudible with Arctic 7Pplus headphones.

    Under the audio settings and radio section - there is an on off for sound effects playing through a wireless controller speaker. If you turn this off i it can come through the TV speaker - but it is very faint - the volume on this does need to be increased.

    @dwin20 Should have included that on my OP. Yes, I am aware and that changes nothing. The beep is there, but equally inaudible.

    Platform:PC
    Summarize your bug Upshift tone inaudible on all sound and speaker modes (using headphones)
    Which area is the bug/glitch in? TT
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Adequately test games before release
    What happens when the bug occurs? No upshift tone
    What do you expect to see? Upshift tone

    Bug seems to be in all areas, but I selected TT from the dropdown because you can only select one

  • Same problem here when using headphones. I can hear the upshift tone on Red Bull if I select Night mode, but not Ferrari! Or Ferrari engine in My Team.

    Agree, it’s almost not recognizable with headphones. Should be fixed.

    Much quieter on Red Bull car on PC (TT).

    Headphones, Broadcast mix, Ducking Off. Audio Quality is High.

    Using HyperCloudX headset, jack plugs, Realtek audio.

    Seems since patch.

  • I had what i think is the same issue, one work around which I actually enjoy more as I used cockpit view is goto settings>audio>then change soundtrack to driver - upshift is very loud now
