Loud Repetitive Sound Issues

Post by punctual »

Hi all, absolutely loving this game so far, but I have a few consistent sound issues that I'm looking for some feedback on. I'm not very far in but on level 1+2 I've had several instances where I can hear monsters seemingly from behind walls in parts of the dungeon I haven't explored yet.

I'm not talking about the normal "oh I hear some shuffling ahead". It's loud and repetitive like a legionary has alerted to me from behind a wall and is clanking his heavy armor repeatedly like he is trying to come at me but can't since a wall is in the way. It really is jarring and breaks immersion. It's louder than any other ambient sounds or other monsters in the immediate area. It happens with snails sometimes, but the Legionary is the main culprit as it is so damn loud!

I have a save game of some of this behavior please let me know if you would like me to upload it and link to it.

As far as my sound setup I have a 2 speaker setup with sub and on board sound via MOBO, its driver controller is VIA High Definition Audio. The latest driver 6.0.1.8700 is installed (As far as I can find) but is kinda old 8/4/2010.

Are you sure it's not actually behind the wall? There are several areas (such as the pits) that are crawling with these guys.
