[2021] [Bug/Glitch]Audio on Vulkan broken


Original Post — Direct link
When I use Vukan API, my audio is scuffed. Sounds which are close appear far away, and sounds which are far away appear very close. Moreover, directional sounds are either hard left or hard right, there is little to no in front / behind distinguishment. I am using HI-FI audio mode, so this should not be happening. When using DirectX, the audio is completely fine, but I prefer the extra frames from using Vulkan. These issues havent always been happening, only within the past month or so.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Hello Benji.LL, thanks for getting in touch about these audio issues you have experienced.

Both of these issues I have heard of bother from other players, but the fact you have started experiencing them recently is quite interesting.

What kind of headset are you using and are you using any enhancement software with the headphones that may be incompatible with Vulkan?
If you are using any sound effect plug ins, Windows enhancements, or audio software such as surround sound controller apps, have you tried uninstalling or disabling these and playing Vulkan mode without them?

Can I ask have you also tried reinstalling your audio driver for the headset you are using? I has a similar issue recently with off sound effects in another game, after reinstalling my audio driver, the issue was resolved for me.
