So, I don’t think this is a bug, since Gears of War 5 apparently had the same issue. If it is a bug, it’s an issue with Dolby Atmos. Basically, if you have Logitech or Razer Kraken headphones, enemy and friendly audio will be SEVERELY muted. I have been back smacked so much because I couldn’t tell that I was being shot at from 2 feet away. It’s like my spartan has a fishbowl full of water as a helmet and the only thing I can actually hear is my own gunfire and footsteps. This is not an issue in other games. I can hear things just fine in Valorant, which is an audio heavy game. It’s really ruining my experience since I’m at a huge tactical disadvantage.
I plugged in some cheap headphones I have for music and the sound was much more discernable. I have yet to find a solution to this. If anyone has somehow managed to make this issue go away, please let me know.
