How is the Audio Quality in this game?

[KingHadu]

Is it worth using a good sound card and audiophile headphones like HD 600 sennheiser to play this game?

WOrth if you already have one, no reason to use another then.

But the audio quality in the game is really questionable, on the new map for instance, in the mounted gun right in front of the armored train: you can hear a scav aggro with you, seems like he is in your side but he is underground.
This game don`t have sound levels, so you will hardly know if the guy is above or under you, unless you know what kind of material the sound will produce in each level.
Also, they put so much audo attention to weather - in customs for instance, you can hear that WIND like a hurricane overloading your ears, unless you are inside some building.
But footsteps, something we want to hear its barelly noticiable on the mid of all that sound polution.

Seems like a audio rework is comming by, lets wait to see =D

The audio will be great, but currently it remains all over the place...................

See I find it pretty good. I use a USB DAC and some good headphones. So I dont need drivers and I dont have any issues. I think its the second best sounding game after Bad Company 2 to be honest.

Audio is, still, absolute dogshit. Direction is off, how close or far a sound is away is off (often sounds like people are next to you when in reality they are 200m away, for gunshots that is), bushes make sound when you're not touching them it's terrible.

Audio is trash, do not listen to anyone that says anything other than that.
