So. Interesting thing I just experienced. While using the Porsche 935 with telemetry up ( tire temperature tab ) I rolled my lil screen narrator trick ( set it to on>save>set it back off>save ). What resulted was the tire sounds ( tires on wet pavement to be exact ) became extremely loud and distorted. Overpowered everything. Weather conditions were rainy so you can imagine how this sounded. I’m gonna test this further to see if it happens again with other cars.
When I closed telemetry it reverted to normal.
Just another instance where the screen narrator implementation is messing with the entire mix in a negative way.
I have been able to recreate this 100%. 3x in a row so far.
My exact game conditions = Porsche 935 on Road America in the rain. Xbox Series X with Dolby Atmos for Home Theater. Passthrough on.
To recreate = Be in 1st person cam. Bring up telemetry. Pause > Settings > Accessibilty > Screen Narrator set to on > save > set to off > save. Back to game and you’ll hear it.
I have just been able to do the same thing with the 2018 BMW M2 Competition. This is easily reproduceable.
I’ve just discovered that weather conditions don’t matter and I’ve tested 8 more cars since the last posting.
I think you will find it does this if you just go into a menu while you have telemetry open, you don’t need to do the whole narrator on/off the reproduce this. it does it all the time when im tweaking wheel setting with the FFB telemetry open to check if its clipping.
Well, regardless. The screen narrator does something to negatively affect the overall mix. After running my lil toggle workaround the mix becomes wider and less bright. Sounds a bit better. I’ve reported similar issues with the native xbox one. It used to affect all xbox audio.
Alright. This one’s an outlier. I’m using the BMW M4 GTS right now and when I turn screen narrator on ( with the voice volume at 0 ), this car’s interior sounds loads better. There’s more piston punch. It just sounds and feels more natural. When I turn it off tho it goes kinda flat. Sounds saturated or compressed.
