When there are multiple sources of effects audio the game stops registering them; like the sound of a machinegun firing, GL impact on enemies, your character taking hits.
It’s like the audio gets overwhelmed.

I'm experiencing this on PS5 base and PS5 Pro, in both surround sound speakers and in the Pulse headset. First noticed it when fighting the first mini-boss of the first mission (Exile Overseer, I think it was called, the Servitor), and it's been happening again within the settlement and when I just did Step 2 of 31 of The Edge of Fate quest.
