Sound issues since 2.3?

Since 2.3 my sound has been really tinty sounding. I can confirm a couple of my friends have also noticed the issue.

Before submitting a bug report i was going to ask here if anyone else noticed it.

There are extra audio controls to mess about with in the menu. Have you tried looking at them & seeing if that makes a difference?

Yes.

In addition to messing up several audio prompts/cues, the screwed with the balance and everything except the low frequencies has gotten quiet and hollow sounding. I can't hear anything over the engines on many vessels any more.

I've also noticed completely missing Audio/Sound FX at some Engineer Bases. I was upgrading a module yesterday and after the second attempt, the sound just went silent and continued to be absent all the way through my departure. This included the entire hangar/pad animation sequence leading up to a departure after LAUNCH was selected.

The first sound effect I heard after well over that 10 minutes time spent at this base, was the sound of the docking clamps releasing my ship.

Have NEVER seen this level of Sound Bugs in a release before 2.3.

And as usual... A good 90% of these issues were reported 7 weeks ago in the first Beta release.

Its strange because i haven't experienced any sound issues at all but, my Friend has. I'm using the onboard sound processor on my motherboard. My friend uses the Nvidia sound processor on his gpu cos he uses his monitors speakers. Maybe you all have something in common with your hardware, like dedicated sound cards or something.
Bugs are strange creatures you know.

The Ship Voice and other sounds have often gotten messed up in other Betas, but they have always been fixed before the LIVE version goes out. Don't know what happened this time, but we had the same Ship Voice Echo issue in 2.2 during Beta, but again, it was fixed before that version got released.

I use a 7.1 surround system in my Home Theater where I play ED on a very large theatrical display.. My audio system is very expensive and sensitive to changes. I hear everything that isn't right, and the list is long.

Yeah i suppose I'm using quite a basic sound processor so the little things might not be noticeable. I hope they fix it soon cos the sound effects are one of this games best features. I'll stick my headphones on and see what i can hear.
I would love that big screen setup by the way 😊

I actually noticed tonight that I wasn't getting any sound effect when buying items on the market and also noticed the cockpit voice seemed to seem far away sound, weird.

Its not that the sounds are getting worse... Its just that we all are getting older and our hearing is getting worse... That's what the Devs say anyway. Ask me how I know!

What?

^^ I can't hear anything over the engine noise either, for example I can't make out the railgun pre-fire audio, makes aiming a lot harder for me.

Is there a bug report I can add my voice to?

I'm using my board's onboard audio (I think)

For me the music playback - since the latest patch, 2.3.02 I think? has dropped significantly in quality. Anybody else experiencing this?

Anyone aware of an existing bug report? Sorry I'm at work and only able to fleetingly look at the forum or I'd search.

I think in 2.1 some of the ship computer voice samples were remixed - the stereo phasing on her voice is markedly stronger in some clips than others.

This might account for some of the trebly "talking in the toilet" feel in the ship's voice - it's a small room with hard, smooth surfaces that reflect a lot of treble. I haven't noticed any changes in 2.3, however.

I've had a weird thing where the station controller repeats the docking dialogue "shutdown engines etc" when you actually launch from a pad?! Anyone else had this? The launch dialogue plays immediately after it..?
