So, I am having this issue as are many others as described on Halo Waypoint, and nobody is acknowledging this issue. https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst130327_HALO-4-Sound-Problems-during-Cutscene-s.aspx Cutscene Sound Issue - During cutscenes, sound effects including music, ambient noise, and general sound effects sound muffled, like a low bitrate music file. - Dialogue and vocals tend to be unaffected. They play at lossless quality. - In game sound effects are unaffected. - Prerendered cutscene sound effects are unaffected. - In game engine cutscene sound effects are the only ones experiencing low bitrate qualities. This is a summary of the issue. I experienced the issue during ingame cutscenes with many sound effects and music tracks sounding muffled and like I was listening underwater, while the dialogue was crisp. The game itself had no issues but any time a cutscene occurred with the ingame graphics engine, everything sounded extremely low-fi. I am using an optical cable on a 250gb slim 360 with a Sony 5.1 receiver. I attempted with the game running from disc, installed to the hard drive, multiple reboots and experienced this from start to end in the campaign. This is not a minor issue as 343 advertised their sound production was going to be phenomenal, but I may as well have only had one speaker for these cutscenes because that's the sound quality I was given. Were the wrong files for the surround mix included on the disc? Is a patch in the works? Instead of enjoying the cutscenes, I could only cringe at the sound quality. Any and all information on this glaring issue would be very much appreciated.
