Louder note calling and quieter environment control below 50% audio

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Please make it so you can reduce the sound of the environment below 50% so that I can actually hear the notes. The voices are too thin.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Patch the audio controls
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't hear the notes
What do you expect to see? A patch

Can there be a patch to further reduce sound effects of the engine and environment below 50% so that I can hear the notes better? as a driver and codriver of actual rally, I need to be able to hear the notes and additionall the voices need more bass to them. Way too trebly and nasal. The previous game, dirt rally 2.0 had a really good voice in English that I could hear really well. The two English voices on this are too thin and are just not clear enough, so I need to be able to max those volumes out and reduce the car and environment noise further. By by no means am I hard of hearing, I actually can't process that much sound coming in at once. With a real Stilo helmet the rest of the world doesn't exist, except for the voice calling notes.

    Have you also turned the master volume control down.?  It isn’t tied to the voice volume.    I’ve turned every volume down to 80 except the voice volumes and have no problem with hearing calls 

  • Biggest issue with the game for me, I struggle to hear the codriver in every codemasters game since DR1. It ruins the enjoyment of the game as I have to focus on the codriver instead of on driving, and I will miss a lot of calls still. I suspect there might be some EQ issues too making the voice not stand out as much. However just allowing us to lower the volume below 50% would be amazing. I need to have everything except the codriver on 50%, but that makes the engine too quiet compared to gravel...

    Please look into this, going much slower than I need to into multiple corners on every stage because I missed the call is just not fun.

    Hello EA,

    You only have one job for the next patch:

    "Can there be a patch to further reduce sound effects of the engine and environment below 50% ?"

    As a former rally driver (Ford Escort BDA 2000cc ex Gr.4), I invite you to try a headset with intercom in this car to notice that the surrounding noises, including the engine, are significantly more muffled and that we hear better and more clearly our co-driver than in WRC 23.

    THANKS.
