Ashantara.8731 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) How hard can it be to configure your microphones properly, devs? My ears hurt, I had to mute the stream to be able to continue to watch.

yoni.7015 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 After several years of zoom meetings during Covid we really all should be used to it. It’s not even that bad, I can understand properly and my ears don’t hurt. 3 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are relaxing after each distorted audio spike and just begin to feel safe only to have your eardrums almost explode again the next moment. 😉 Fun aside, the audio is plain terrible, regardless of whether you have a sensitive hearing. Certainly not fit for a professional live stream. Edited August 2 by Ashantara.8731 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoni.7015 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 You are overreacting. Maybe get your ears checked at a doctor. 3 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I only listened for a little bit because I'd prefer to discover it all in game, but apart from some minor differences in volume, there was no issue with the audio worth mentioning. 3 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Sarah's volume seemed a bit low (so turned up the volume), but other than that I did not experience any audio issues. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticalGoddess.8637 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) I don't know how some of you are saying you couldnt hear the horrible audio quality, and the peaking that blows out your eardrums. Maybe some people just have really bad headphones, but I have pretty good ones, and The stream was borderline unwatchable for me, the audio was peaking and blowing out my ears every few seconds, My ears actually hurt from it. Sarah's audio was either too low or blowing out your ears, there was no in between, Richie's audio was just bad. the only audio that was semi good was the Joel. EDIT: as i get further in, I am wrong Joel's audio is bad too lol Edit: I was watching on Twitch idk if it sounded any better on youtube Edited August 3 by MysticalGoddess.8637 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Sounded fine to me. The audio was a little jagged in its quality sometimes, but nothing horrible. 🤷♀️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) I am telling you I did not hear 'extreme overdrive', nor any 'overdrive' (whatever that means). As I posted, Sarah's volume was low so I turned up the volume; the two guys were louder, then, but nothing 'extreme'. No reason to demand everyone share your experiences. It seems more didn't share your experience than did. 🤷♂️ Edited August 3 by Inculpatus cedo.9234 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was the only problem for me. In order to hear Sarah, Richie insisted on trying to blast my eardrums out. How rude. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie was so obnoxiously loud, he hurt my ears if I turned up the volume to hear Sarah.

Isn't that the technical term? Sorry if I am mistaken. It's when your microphone does not transmit a clear sound, which becomes worse at higher volumes. It is pretty painful to the ears. 47 minutes ago, Gaiawolf.8261 said: It's not just you. Richie was so obnoxiously loud, he hurt my ears if I turned up the volume to hear Sarah. This. Richie's mic was the worst, and he is a digital marketing specialist. One would assume that he's not new to voice chats and has his mic configured properly -- which he didn't. Either that, or the audio conference settings provided by ANet were badly set up. 1 hour ago, Parasite.5389 said: this topic isn't constructive What would you consider "constructive"?

If I went there personally to properly configure their headsets? 😂 Constructive would be not calling them unprofessional or accusing them of causing you pain. I think it would have been better to have said something along the lines of; "Enjoyed the stream, but I found the audio a bit off putting in places. Is it possible to try and balance the audio/volume between those on the stream a bit better for future streams, to avoid having to keep changing volume depending on who is speaking?" That would be putting things in a way a little less hostile since saying "not fit for professional stream" just comes across as condescending. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
