Exceptionally frustrating sound "bug"? [PS4](1)Category: Console Bug ReportsAugust-20-2014 8:31 AM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
While in Dolby 5.1 the vast majority of the game's sound effects come from the rear right speaker. This is basically attack sounds, enemy noises, crafting sounds, NPC speech while running around, etc...

The only time sound comes directly from the center and front speakers is during NPC conversations in town (the optional conversations with the blue stars), all cinematics/cutscenes, or things happening on screen but at the very top. Such as the trees coming to life in Act 1. During these instances everything sounds fantastic, but for the most part, it's incredibly irritating to hear almost everything happen at exceptionally high volume levels from the right rear speaker.

All of the time, ambient noises and music are coming appropriately from all channels, but that right rear speaker is just completely overbearing in use. Not sure if it's a positional thing in game, like the noises are coming based on character positioning, but it would be really nice to have everything come from the front channel speakers.

Can you reproduce this at Blizzard, is this a known issue? Am I the only one??? :(
