The game audio on my Nintendo Switch is incredibly quiet. Cutscenes can hardly be heard when playing through the Switch’s speaker, even at full volume. With headphones, it’s marginally better at max volume but is still very quiet. Please fix. All of the hardware on my end is perfectly functional, all other games run with much better audio.

True, especially speech audio
Speech doesn’t work at all with surround sound enabled.

Truth. Compared to a Mario game, D2R is like half as loud at full volume–if that.

I confirm this issue
Same issue here, the D2R’s sound volume was very low compare to other games on Nintendo Switch. I have to increase the volume a lot in order to hear the sound on Switch. Please fix this issue.
Yes please up the volume. I can barely hear it even with good headphones.

For me I’m having an issue where the audio starts to get disrupted and sound clips aren’t finishing or hell even starting. Whether I’m managing inventory and the gems aren’t making their “ping” sounds, or the sound effects like hitting an enemy sounds like a basic cudgel sound effect. It’s really odd and gets progressively worse since each time I don’t leave the game after dealing with this issue for long periods of time, the game just crashes entirely.

The low volume bug has been fixed for Nintendo Switch user with patch 1.0.0.4.

No it hasnt been fixed, there is constant static sound everywhere because of the low bitrate theyv used, just compare to any console or pc version with any speaker/headset of your choice its a massive difference. Ironically the older version of diablo 2 has all the sounds present (cave winds, proper reverb of foot steps) that is so messed up on the switch.

I would do a refund if Nintendo will let me. It’s basically unplayable in handheld mode it’s so quiet. And that’s on the OLED. Model.

Confirmed. This is extremely annoying when playing D2R on Nintendo Switch especially on handheld mode. The audio volume was too low, please fix it on patch 2.4 for Switch platform!

Still unbelievably quiet. Can’t even hear cutscene dialogue with your ear literally against the speaker.
On top of that they still haven’t fixed the black hair bug that’s been there since day 1.
Definitely trying for a refund. They don’t even address the switch issues, doubt they’ll ever fix it.

its 2022 not one person from blizz has bothered to look at this post or fix the issue the audio is broken and muffled makes the game unbareable even on external speakers. Why does it need to be featured as a bug in kotaku or some large site to be fixed? dont we deserve to enjoy what we pay for. They even make it impossible to report this issue for the switch.
