The engine sounds, speed pad sounds and collision sounds are extremely loud to the point that it's distracting and the game becomes unplayable for me. Sort of sounds like the sound muffling and amplification you experience in a tunnel. I'll hit sections of track where it seems to get better for a second or two, but then it comes right back. This issue is not limited to indoor tracks or tunnel sections of outdoor tracks. I've experienced this in all three modes I've played in...speed lap, time trial and online single race. It just came about randomly last night while starting a new speed lap session (up to that point, everything was normal). I tried different tracks, different ships (both HD and Fury ships), restarting WO, restarting my console, restarting my receiver, but nothing helped...then I decided to try an online single race and everything was fine again. Things were back to normal offline too. Fired it up for the first time since, just a bit ago, and the problem is back, but this time online too (in addition to offline). Again, tried restarting WO, but it didn't help. If I lower the effects volume, it helps, but then I can barely hear the woman's voice and the other effects that I need to hear (weapons sounds and such). If I lower my receiver's volume, it also helps, but then I can barely hear my music and all the other effects I need to hear. It's as if the volume of the engine sounds, speed pad sounds and collision sounds are independently and exceedingly loud in comparison to all the other sound effects. This problem has ruined WO for me at the moment, as it's not playable in this condition.
