Just logged into season 5. The game is essentially unplayable with the current audio I’m dealing with. An ana miles behind me saying “hello” sounds like it’s RIGHT IN MY EAR. All voicelines and hero interactions sound like they’re echoing right on top of me even when my teammates are far far away. It’s really disorienting and I hope it gets fixed ASAP.

This garbage season has been out for how long now? 10 hours? 11? And this is still an issue? But oh boy, sure happy this is a free to play game!

Same here, was looking for this thread because it is driving me insane. As a healer I turn around instantly if someone calls out right behind me and now they are most often coming out from spawn on the other side of the map. Also playing on PC.
It is super stressful and so loud!

I cant play with it being so bad, I’ll keep checking for the sound fix but in the meantime I’ll grind another game.

Oh yeah the spatial audio is completely messed up. Just booted up the game and it’s horrible. I afk’d most of my first match because I was looking at the audio settings all confused. I barely hear things, but then a teammate of mine spawns and their voice lines are right inside my ear. Some things are way louder than others and it’s super random whether the sounds are loud or quiet. It is unplayably bad

I’ve had audio cutting out a lot with this game for me- Weirdly haven’t had the loud team voice-lines? Just Widow and Cassidy sounding they are near by with their foot steps but only in specific maps? And have had Hanzos voiceline for his Ult repeat twice making it sound like a enemy Hanzo ulting when there isn’t a dragon

Blizzard is hard at work, trying to set prices for next season’s skins and story missions. They ain’t got time to fix the game.

All these sound issues are caused by “convolution reverb”
This video explains it properly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRj-GotnNaQ&t=500s
Hope this helps guys. They are likely not gonna revert these sound changes in OW2 since it’s one of the big marketing points for the game (not unlike PVE and 5v5) so…
