I've been saying the same thing in other threads. Audio is still unbearable no matter what I do or try.

I just did an important story beat, and the audio during the fight ruined the entire experience. I was so distracted by how awful it was that I didn't even absorb the mechanics or the dialog or anything. I was seeing red. If you're in the same boat, which you probably are if you're reading this thread, I suggest holding off on the first trial. Go craft or gather or something... spare yourself this bs.
