Audio bugged

With the recent update the SFX audio is terribly bugged. Unplayable with a headset very distorted sounds and explosions even dialogue is messed up. Tried to restart and still nothing. I’m currently on PS5 but I’m seeing posts on social media about the same issues. Any updates?

  • Turning off the in-game voice chat fixes the bug somehow, so it's a valid temporary solution until they fix the damn bug

  • It's a stereo problem. I'm on PS5 and turned the audio to mono and didn't have distorted sounds since then. Hope it works for you too.

  • Hi there, Thanks for reaching out. We're currently investigating this issue. In the meantime some players report that turning off 3D audio can help alleviate the audio distortion.

    • For those on PS5 disabling 3D audio for your headset should fix the issue. I tested with both Dolby and DTS settings and changing those didn’t have an effect. Go into settings < sound < 3D audio for headphones and turn off

        One things is for sure, if an audio bug somehow benefited the player Bungie would fix it in hours, lol.

        • Seems to be caused by any type of 3D Audio/Spatial Sound software, turning off Dolby Atmos on PC fixed it for me

        • Same issue here. Pc. Definitely NOT due to headset, tried multiple audio sources and all the same issue. It’s like the SFX of anything not right beside your guardian is muted and compressed. No bass and audio clips and sounds as if it’s cutting out due to maxing out of volume or something. I tried to do multiple changes to settings such as frame rate locking, changing to full screen and windowed. Nothing works. Using 3060ti so don’t believe it’s due to hardware. Everything’s up to date as well.

        • On Xbox Series X with Dolby Atmos and the sound is busted as. Absolutely terrible. Tried 7.1 uncompressed seems to work.

          • Commenting to get updates also, Bungie need to sort this asap, it has made the game almost unplayable as the audio lags the frame rate drops as it tries to fix the audio and then once it can't fix the audio it distorts and crackles. Hopefully they fix it soon 🙏

          • Audio has been terrible for me as well (Xbox S) since the update and has continued today (April 19) across entire game. I'm confused why Bungie hasn't acknowledged this.

          • Same here, xbox one, funny how when you look through the thread you see mod and bungie reply to title lost threads, but not the actually game, which is video and AUDIO, fix your game or acknowledge us atleast with this issue you said to report in this help section

          • Great example of how the audio is completely snapped in half. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8WPcb_x9x8o Doesnt show the issues with dialogue being too quiet at some times.

            • Me too, I thought it was just me. Figured this new patch would mess things up. I would love. To be proven wrong at some time

              Having audio issues on PS5 as well. Guns, explosions and voice audio becomes slowed at times. Posted multiple videos @BungieHelp with examples.
