What happened to voiced emotes? Change it back

Lately, I’ve been frustrated with something that I’m not sure is a bug or not.
I’ve been unable to hear emotes from players outside of my party and even when in party, those emotes are significantly quiet compared to my own emotes and the rest of the game.
Currently, emotes are attached to the “sound effects” option and raising the volume in order to pal around with my friends leaves my ears ringing when something of “normal volume” happens.
I want to suggest an option to enable out of party emote sounds and a dedicated volume slider for voiced character emotes.
Any additional thoughts on this or other sound options would be great or even verification that I’m not the only one experiencing this.

True. We need a volume slider for emotes. What’s the point of having them if you cannot hear other peoples emotes?

Yeah character voice emotes used to be tied to dialog volume but for some stupid reason they changed it to sound effects volume. I want to actually hear all emotes in the game loud and clear.

I’ve only seen a small handful of threads that even reference this and the lack of complaint or notice really boggles me.
Was this a stealth patch or something?
I’m getting really tired of the devs not listing everything that they change in the game.
