I think it's a pretty common feature in games that the sounds you hear will be louder when you're facing the source. So if a character speaks, looking at them will increase their volume level and looking away will decrease it. In fallout 4, it doesn't seem to work that way for me. It became most apparent to me when someone was crying for help, yet I couldn't for the life of me find out where it came from. The sound did get louder the closer I got to the source, yet without the audio being influenced by my direction, I just couldn't find that source. I circled around a good ten minutes before giving up. I'm using stereo audio by the way, so I'm not talking about surround sound at all. Can anyone confirm that Fallout 4's audio isn't influenced by which way you're looking? Any chance we could see a mod for this?
