Just wondering what is up with them. I cant hear them talk, its so low and sounds distorted.
The in game sounds and voices are fine, just the cinematic.
Yep, I’ve literally had to youtube the cinematics so far to watch them. Very annoying
That it is. I’ll just wait until it’s fixed to continue. Only 2 missions in.
Surely we aren’t the only two people with this issue? Haha is there anyone else here on the forums who’s got the same problem
I haven’t seen any other posts about it. It’s super weird though and needs to be fixed 
I actually have the exact opposite issue. Though I wear a headset. I have the volume settings way down, and yet I can’t hear my party or fireteam chat during cut-scenes. Seriously RIP my eardrums.
My audio and video desync completely during cinematics. The audio will stop while the video keeps going, then the video stops while the audio tries to catch up. It ends up locking the game up and I have to force-off my Xbox One. Trying to skip the cinematic gives me an infinite loading screen.
I’m experiencing the exact same issue with the cinematic dialogue. Dialogue is muffled and almost imperceptible during the cutscene, but in-game audio works just fine.
However, I have noticed one thing: I am on a 5.1 sound system with HDMI input. During in-game audio, I noticed that some sounds/audio isn’t actually decoding to 5.1 - example: Audio Logs. I can open an Audio Log, turn and walk from the source and the sound does not appear to decode to my rear speakers correctly. I don’t know if it’s related, but the muffled dialogue in the cutscenes feels similar - like the system is having issues decoding it to the correct channel.
This is the only game I’m experiencing audio issues with - Mad Max, Destiny, MCC - they all decode out to 5.1 with absolutely no issues.
Tried adjusting sound levels and speaker/headset type. Tried hard reset, and will be uninstalling/reinstaling tonight to be sure it’s not the install. I’m still on the original XBox dashboard, so I can rule out NXOE.
I had a sound issue with a cinematic this morning. Hoping this will be fixed soon!
WHOA! What is up with the weapon sounds not syncing up very well? Am I the only one who notices this? There seems to be a delay when you fire a weapon, you hear the sound later than normal? Please 343 fix this. And what the heck happened to Forge and Split screen co-op? Boy, you’re really taking away from what made the series so fun. I can live without the forge and split screen…but FIX THE SOUND SYNC WITH THE WEAPONS!!! PLEASE!!!
My cinematics are okay, but I have a sound issue were suddenly a blaring siren-like glitch noise happens during gameplay and washes everything else out. Happens in Unconfirmed on Mission 5
I have the same issue, the voice over sounds muffled really bad. Any word on an answer yet??
Had the exact same problem, I was using my tv’s speakers and when I switched the audio output from 7.1 to stereo it solved the problem immediately
