Sound quality ?

[peteloud]

Before starting on Episode 3  I went to finish off a bit of a Survival game.   The sound seemed better than it was previously.

When I started on Ep. 3  the sound quality was so bad in the conversations with Molly, both face to face and on the phone, that I could hardly make out what they were saying.  I had made no changes to any sound settings.

Has anyone else experienced such a problem?

I have progressed further in Ep. 3 and other speech is terrible too.  They speak as if they have very thick scarves over their mouth.  I can not make out what Molly says and the priest is very muted too.

Speech is fine here

There is a separate audio setting for Voice/Dialogue -- have you checked to make sure that this hasn't been turned down much lower than the rest of the volume levels? If you post a screenshot of your Audio settings, that could be helpful. Otherwise, please submit a ticket to the Support portal (www.hinterlandgames.com/support) and we'll see what we can do to help.

Thanks for your feedback.  I shall investigate further as suggested by Raphael.

It was just such a puzzle. The sound in the Survival mode was extremely crisp and sharp, then a few minutes later so fuzzy.

I'm having issues where the player's footsteps are the loudest things on Great Bear and i can't hear unless I stop moving. The sound quality seems fine for me but the fires and harvesting old mans beard are really high pitched and tinny sounding now.

The only sound issue I've noticed is that you can't hear a timberwolf pack growling behind you. You only hear them when you face them

I swear that most of the audio is a lot better. I noticed we can hear woodpeckers again but it isn't the ear-killing sound it used to be. 

However I do think there might be some audio/dialogue glitches. The first time I tried to play the episode I ended up with the audio cutting out completely after I had to access the Xbox Dashboard... I am going to try and capture a possible glitch in the first bits of dialogue. However I'm not sure if I'm going to play when I get off work this afternoon.
