Why can't I hear my companions talking unless I'm looking at them?

For the most part the audio is fine, It's just when I'm walking around during missions that I notice that when characters talk I can see their subtitles but I can't hear them. And no matter where I look online I can't find someone who's had the same problem or can give me an answer on how to fix it.

    This could be a simple settings problem, but check the connection of your speakers to the motherboard.

    If that don't helps, your Motherboard should be a ASUS Pro B660M-C D4-CSM. 
    (Make sure this is indeed the mainboard you use!)

    There is a newer Realtek Audio driver available on the ASUS website of your board > Download and install the "Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.9091.1 for Windows 10 64-bit & Win11 64-bit---(WHQL)" drive > Restart your PC > Test.

    I don't know how to change that in game or in Windows, I've already tried in game many times but I cant find anything that allows you to change speaker settings. And I'm looking at sound settings in Windows right now as I'm writing this but it's not giving me anything either.

    • Press the Windows key and "i" at the same time > System > Sound.
    • Scroll down and click on "More Sound Settings"
    • In the new window that opened select your audio output device > Configure > Select "Stereo" > next > next > next > Apply.

    i think it made it a little better but not by much. I can only hear everything clearly when wearing headphones I've noticed.

    Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window. 

    What audio hardware do you have? (Speaker, type and model) Or do you use Monitor speakers?
