Jack the Axe's audio/dialogue bug?

It seems like this issue has been happening to a few other players over the years from what I looked up and browsed, but for whatever reason Jack the Axe's dialogue is extremely quiet and not showing up in the dialogue box as I play with the item.

It's drowned out mostly by the in game audio sounds, no matter what I turn down, with it baseline just being extremely quiet. I've tried switching characters and back to the Jack the Axe holder to try and reset it, without luck.

I just find it odd that a sentient weapon like Oni-Goroshi works completely fine comparatively and even shows up with dialogue compared to Jack the Axe.

Has anyone else experienced this?

If so, is there any tips?

I was really looking forward to stomping around with my Lacerate Gladiator build with a demonic sounding axe cheering on the carnage, so anything passed along would be nice.

Thank you for any assistance.
