[Bug - Mac OS] Voices too soft to be heard while all else blasts

Bradge

I've tested the game before and after the latest patch. Each time I was at the start of Shadows of Unredentide on my 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro tower computer (Mac OS 10.12.6), and the volume for voices was weak while everything else was strong. Even when I lowered the music to 5 percent and raised the voices to 100 percent, the music still drowned out the voices. The only way I'm able to hear dialogue well enough to understand it while playing is with the music at zero percent, sound effects at 5 percent and the voices at 100 percent.

Yes, I have a similar problem.

I filed a bug report here.

I'm also having this problem. Late 2016 Macbook Pro running 10.12.6.

I have successfully solved this problem on my Mac by changing sound output from 2D to 3D.
(under Sound Options)
However, it resets on launch, so that's a whole other problem.

Lathspellguest

So you're saying you have to change it back to 3D every time you start the game?

Parasolsyndicate

Correct. Hopefully this will be resolved in a later version.

Lathspellguest

Good to know! At least there's a band-aid to improve playability for now.

Be advised that I was having the issue without headphones of any kind.
