Is the game Audio Bug?

After 1.19 patched finished and I logged in I immediately heard the audio had changed. Basically It sounds stuffy, and low quality. A lot of the in game system sounds are so low you can't hear them over the music tracks, even with all the sounds at maximum through the configuration. No one else I ask has noticed it, or they're too hyped up with the added content to care. So I'm asking here, has anyone else felt this?

I don't use good speakers to begin with, cheap dell single green male plug with USB power cables, but before 1.19 I could everything with the clarity these speakers could provide. After patch, bluntly, it sounds like 'shite'. It also out right cut's off on certain selections (hitting Back on the character select screen, then re-entering through Play at the title has no system sounds at all for me as an example).
