Original Post — Direct link

Having just downloaded the beta, is anyone else having difficulty with the sound? The only way I can describe is that it sounds like I am in a fish tank. Anything more than 5 metres from me, regardless if it’s gun fire, foot steps or anything other than my own gun or the voice to warn you of enemy kill streaks sounds absolutely atrocious and it’s difficult to identify which direction it’s coming from.

Hi there! We found your thread and are curious if you would answer a few questions:

  • Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, is it every match?
  • Can you share with us how you are listening to our game?
  • Can you also share which version of the PlayStation 4 you are on?

Thanks!

Hi!

Absolutely, it’s my only issue at the moment.

  • I am still experiencing this, it’s every match regardless of the map or zone being played in at any given time.
  • I’m listening through Turtle Beach Stealth 700 headphones. I have not tried playing without headphones although wish I tried that now!
  • I’m playing on the PS4 slim.

No problem! I’m happy to record gameplay/try any suggestions you might have.

This is all great information to have and you touched on a few of our follow-up questions. If you can, please record a sample of this and upload it to YouTube. You can set the video to unlisted if you don't want it to sit on your profile.

Sure, no problem! It’s a bit late to do it now but I’ll link it up here tomorrow.

Understandable and we appreciate you taking the time to record tomorrow! If possible, please do not adjust any audio or hardware settings, other than those necessary to record/upload, so that we can try to see what you're experiencing.

We'll follow-up with additional questions after that and with any others that may pop into the thread.

Right now, I'm watching Scumps stream and the sound completely changed. You are not alone! It's like you are wearing a helmet and the sound is muffled. The sound is not 'open' as it was in the Alpha.

The game is also over bassy to the point you have this wub-wub feeling going on all the time. I appreciate Treyarch trying to change these things, but the game isn't pleasing to hear at all. It's all over the place and straining.

The alpha was perfect. Sure the gun sounds needed a little tiny bit more punch and the steps needed some range adjustments, but the general direction was good!

Have you tried using any of the audio presets we have in our beta? Try giving High Boost a shot and let me know how you feel about it.

I think even with this it sounds kind of odd, mainly the guns I think? they have this thud sound on every shot and I think its kind of overkill in terms of bassiness, was fine in alpha imo

Thanks for the feedback on this one! Can you let me know how you're listening to our game also? Are you on a 5.1 or 7.1 system by chance? /u/Polar-ish, this would be a great question for you to answer too. Thanks!
