witcher3 Fix for Witcher 3 Next-Gen bug where the combat SFX are muffled when they hit enemies

[crthumann]

Ever since the patch 4.00 release, the sound effects of my swords hitting enemies sound muffled. I did not have this issue with the earlier versions. Several others have complained about it yet apparently, only a select few have this issue.

(Here's a link from someone who has this issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT3KaKtQYEI )

I tried messing with my sound settings, both in-game and with my speakers. Didn't work. I logged onto the CD Projekt Red forum to ask for help, but no one answered.

I also tried looking for a mod that fixes this as there have been numerous ones addressing next-gen issues (like with the movement input lag). Unfortunately, I couldn't fine one. Can someone please create or send a link to a mod that fixes this audio issue?

Hello i tried many things but only this one works for me, Here: Go to your Sound settings and choose your playback device => Properties => Advanced tab => change your default format into 24 bit 96000ghz studio Quality or turn off Spatial Sound

I've already tried turning off the Spatial Sound but my SFX still sounded muffled when I hit enemies with my swords. I'll try that 24 bit 960000ghz option, though I have to redownload my game. I'll let you know whether or not it works.

I just tried playing the game with the 24 bit 96000ghz setting, same problem. The SFX of my swords hitting enemies are still compressed (at least when said foes are saying things or uttering noises). It's not my computer's fault. It's the bloody game itself every since the patch 4.00 release. If only someone would just make a mod that fixes this...
