Car volume has no audio attached to it.

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:Xbox Series X
Summarize your bug So I wanted to change the audio mix so that the cars are more up front. The 'car volume' channel has no audio attached to it. Car volume is part of the sound FX channel.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to the audio settings. Set every channel to 0 but the car channel. You'll hear nothing. Dead air.
What happens when the bug occurs? Car volume is supposed to control the volume of the cars. I wanted to turn everything off so I could hear nothing but the car I'm driving and can't.
What do you expect to see? I expect this channel to control the volume of the car I'm driving only.

Might explain why it sounds so squashed, but my money's on your audio team relying too much on auto-leveling tech rather than their ears. You guys are aware that most modern receivers and soundbars have a built-in auto-leveling feature right? My TV has this feature.

Put the compressors and limiters away. We don't need them, and we don't want them anymore. Give us full range full frequency spectrum audio that has BARELY been touched by any compression units and/or plugins. Let's get the compression out of full range mode plz.

Side note: I can clearly hear that the limiter used is Ozone. Not the best choice. :P

  • I find the sound of cars too low regardless of the settings. To play in manual speed it's not great. I have the problem with headphones or my tv. (I play on ps5)

    It's because they're mixed into the sound FX channel and we don't have the option to isolate them. The whole point of this car volume channel is to allow us to do that and it has no audio attached to do so.
