Summarize your bug Stadium sounds(chants, TD songs) sound better/cleaner on current gen than on next gen.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play any game on both current and next gen and you’ll see that the stadium audio is much cleaner on current vs next gen.
What happens when the bug occurs? Stadium audio on next gen is muffled and quiet.
What do you expect to see? I expect the stadium audio on next gen to be as good if not better than it is on current gen.

The stadium audio(stadium sounds, songs, chants) all sound muffled and off compared to how they sound on current gen(PS4/Xbox 1). I was shocked to hear how the stadium chants and songs sound on Xbox 1 compared to my Series S. I’m assuming this must be a bug for the next gen versions and assume that next gen stadium audio should sound better and not worse than it does on current gen. It’s night and day how much better it sounds on current gen, the J-E-T-S sounds like the real deal on current gen, but every team I tested on both consoles (XB1 and Series S) the stadium audio was always better on XB1.

    Summarize your bug The game audio is SO loud using my Sony 3D pulse wireless headset. I cannot hear my party chat over the game noise very well despite changing the levels. I have tried: changing my party/game audio slider, increasing my party audio of my friends, using the in game audio settings to lower the sound, plugging my headset into my controller and even turning 3D audio off What I have found, that is particularly odd, is that if I turn down my headset volume a notch, it will go to the correct settings, however on the very next play/snap the audio will go right back up again and it is DEAFENING. This issue ONLY happens in madden for me, I play a wide variety of games, including other EA titles where this is not an issue. This also doesn’t appear to occur during the half time show or menus, the audio is quieter then if you have changed the settings.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use a 3D pulse headset, in any mode play a game whilst using party chat and you will find that the game noise drowns out the chat audio and is also very loud anyway. If you turn the audio down a notch on the headset buttons it will correct itself until the very next play.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The game audio is SO loud, if you turn the volume down a notch it will go to the correct settings you have chosen, then on the next play it will be back to being loud, this only happens when wearing a headset, or this specific headset to my knowledge.
    What do you expect to see? For audio settings to stay as they are set, not to reset to being loud after every play.

    This really is making the game hard to play with a headset on. I have seen another thread with someone with the exact same problem however they have had no reply.

  • @Ej_09 thank you for reporting this issue!

    just to add: there is a similar issue reported here. Hopefully it will help finding a solution. good luck!

  • I'm having the exact same problem. I haven't touched my headphones all day because of the drastic sound change. 

  • Since the most recent update, while I'm playing, some fans in my PC (not sure what ones) speed up and get loud every 15 or so seconds. Doesn't happen with any other game, and has only happened since recent update. Temperature in my PC is more than okay so it's not an issue with my PC. Downloaded most recent drivers as well, still happens.

  • I also have this issue.

    It’s super low in one menu and then blasts in the next menu.  Or during the opening of a a game it’s super low and then when the kickoff starts it blasts loud again.

    it seems to be ignoring the headsets button to make party chat louder then game chat entirely

    Summarize your bug Every time after a play is selected the crowd and game noise increase and drown out the chat no matter how the settings are changed.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play one on one online using a headset
    What happens when the bug occurs? The game sound raises on its own so much that you cannot hear what the other person on the chat is saying when you come out of the huddle. Even if between plays you adjust the settings so the game noise is reduced so you can only hear the chat, once the play begins the stadium noise increases so much that you cannot hear anything else.
    What do you expect to see? I expect the chat and game volume settings to stay the same throughout the whole game and not change with every play. I have never had this happen with any other games when I use the chat feature.

    I am using a Pulse 3D Wireless Headset to play Madden 22 on my PS5. It has a function that allows me to manage how much of the game and how much of the chat I hear which has never been a problem. As i have tried to play Madden online with friends the settings seem to be overridden the minute you break the huddle and the game sound is turned up so high that I cannot hear my friends. I have updated the system, replaced the headset, and changed the in game audio settings but nothing solves the problem.

    I've merged some threads about the same issue. Please could you add the information what headsets you are using? At the moment, these players who mentioned their headset models all wrote that they use a Pulse 3D Wireless Headset (from Sony?). Is this true for all of you?
