There's an issue with the 88 being mishandled and oversaturated by the game, may not happen to everyone but this is the case for me. See below:


- If the current 88 sound is too loud or oversaturated please do this:

• 1: In the game's audio settings, change from stereo (or whatever you are using) to mono and then stereo again.
  
  
• 2: This change has now broken the game audio with missing sounds like wave ambiance and other sounds. To fix that, just reload the save and you are good to go.
  
  
• 3: You must do it each time you launch the game.

The devs have yet to acknoledge and fix many sound issues with the game and i can't just spend hours adjusting and rebalancing some of the sounds while the devs could be working on it.

I would like to add the fact that the game uses its own settings and handles sounds in its own way.
The 88, for example, is known to be handled very loudly by the game and that the sound can render very saturated for some people, the torpedo explosion as well, when your camera is too close to it.

Overall, the game have issues with sound proximity rendering and I'll be glad to discuss it further with the devs to give constructive advices and ways to improve the sound experience <3

Some sounds are made quite loud and with boosted bass, if your personnal audio settings are already boosting the audio ranges ( the bass in particular ) it can sound too bassy and unbalanced, i am sure we can find common ground for those who have audio issues, i just need to know wich sounds might need tweaking.



/!\ - Most of the weaponry related sounds from this mod are being made using audio assets from the JSRS Library so i want to give massive credits to LordJarhead and JSRS Studio.

/!\ - You may not redistribute, upload or otherwise use the assets of this mod without giving credits.
