POE 2 / 0.3.0 Bug Report / distorted and crackling Sound Issues

September 12th and this is still an issue. PS5. The sound crackles and distorts terribly. For a gam that requires you to listen; sound notification for special items, this is pretty bad. I have to endure a terrible crackling distortion while I play and hope that I hear the sounds for good drops. Kinda ruins the experience and makes grinding a literal audial torment.

September the 13th, and yes, the sound in this game is the worst I've ever heard, from a quality standpoint, in any game. Massive distortion, crackling, buzzing and popping. Not sometimes, all the time, in any fight that involves effects. This issue used to be listed in the 'known issues', but disappeared a while ago, as if it was "fixed". I've stopped playing this game now, it's auditory assault.

Same problem with the sound with the warrior in Endgame; it's completely unplayable.
I decided to buy a PC to solve the problem.
I have monitors that cost €1,000 each; I'm worried about my speakers.
GGG, do something about it; it's unacceptable, even for an early access game.

This got much worse after 0.3c;
Dialogues echo
Sound is crackling especially when the screen is crowded and you are using a lightning or explosive build
Visual performance is choppy even when the screen is not very crowded. Almost unplayable in multiplayer on high level builds.

Thanks for your reports. We are working on a fix for this.

And the "fix" was a removal of the acknowledgment of the audio stuttering issues from the 'known issues' thread. Thanks, that really helped.

The sound issue still persists but I AM happy to report all other perfomance issues have been fixed by switching to a wired connection.

I have sound effects and many other sounds turned off and experience this loud crackling audio

I would love to play the game again. When will the fix go live?

spam skill + enemies on entire screen = audio death

simple math atm on the game

sad.

just confirming, at least on PS5, this is still happening. Warrior forge hammer stampede fire madness build and its almost unplayable and i think causing performance issues :/ too bad, my toon just got freaking amazing too lol.. maybe tooo amazing :D
