I found a fix for my sound issues. Turning OFF both LIMIT CLIENT SEND RATE and LIMIT SERVER SEND RATE.
Hm. I guess Iām relieved to know itās not just me, but disappointed to know itās a prevalent issue.
Thanks for linking my post, Muf.
same i have sound issue too cant hear enemy footsteps or their ultimateās lots of sound missing from close range attacks and so on its a big issue blizzard need to fix it aspā¦
As of the latest patch, I am still experiencing the voice line audio issues.
Also having weird sound bugs and distortions in OW
Im not having just footsteps problem etc, Im having the whole damn games sound vanishing. It vanishes, everything apart from people talking in voice, and then it appears again.
Hell, it also affects my entire pcs sound system. Discord I cant hear people talking, but they hear me, and I cant hear music from spotify either when OW cuts off its sound.
I mean, this is such a massive bug that I cant even play the game anymore. I love this game, and its frustrates me like crazy. PLEASE fix this blizzard. Never had problems with your game before, but now this.
In the latest patch I am still having some ultimate callouts entirely missing from audio despite on several occasions me looking directly at the person as they use the ultimate.
Run the scan and repair on my game too many times now, this has to be an internal issue in the game
Are thread bumps allowed? Because I have now turned volume to all SFX to 0, which I guess does not disable the SFX in the internal sound engineās queue because I still can not hear my voice lines as I use themā¦ very annoying. I would like a visual cooldown notification if voice lines DO in fact have a shadowban cooldownā¦
Its sad that I have issue in sound effect as well.
My version is missing all sweet head shot ādingā sound.
Also, the sound when a point is captured. Missing these sound feel so weird when playing the game
I also get missing audio effects. Specifically headshot sounds when playing as widowmaker, ultimate voice lines, footsteps and the sounds for damage being taken
I get missing soundeffects for footsteps, widow mines, sym turrets, flash-bangsā¦ the list goes on. Itās not consistent either so itās definitely not something on my end.
I have the PC version of the game, and have the exact same problems.
I rely on sound to play well.
Iām good with computers and tried everything i could think of. I can asure you, it is not my pc. It is the game.
Same thing here. I canāt hear hitmarker sounds. (PC)
Iām having the same issue but only on the PTR. In the normal game all sounds are present and at correct volume levels. In the PTR I can only hear my character at a normal volume. Everybody else is sounds like theyāre in a warehouse and far away regardless of where they are located in relation to my character. No voice lines from other characters; no ults, no warningsā¦ nothing.
happening for me aswell, seems like its from a recent patchā¦ i can here my allies footsteps but only occasionally the enemy, also i dont hear alot of ult noises, like hanzoās or mccree, zarya. Allied footsteps are really loud i keep turning around wondering if someone is flanking and it ends up being a teammate, hard to get used to.
Several times during the past few months I have had to actively turn around and make sure that the teammate walking behind me is not an enemy flanking. Often times I find that my teammates are louder than the enemy and itās very disorienting since the nature of the game is that your enemies will be louder. This is the issue that sticks out to me the most, as itās very distracting. At times I wish I could mute teammate noises so I can just sound hog on the enemy, that I canāt hear because my teammates are so loud.
Thatās been happening to me too itās so confusing! Sometimes Iāll be running back from spawn with a teammate and keep checking back because I think an enemyās flanking but nope, itās just the teammate, very weird.
