Strange problem I'm experiencing... Was running speed laps on the new tracks and everything was fine. Hit the PS button to swith over to the XMB, as I had received a message. Upon opening the message my PS3 froze up. no biggie, it's happened many times. Restarted the PS3, read my message and fired up Fury again. Began a speed lap and woah...the sound effects, specifically the engine sound and the sound when going over speed pads is VERY loud all of a sudden...it sounds like I'm driving in a tunnel the whole time, but louder. I had not touched my volume or anything else. Hit pause and went to the audio options and saw that my music was set on 90% and the effects on 80%, which I assume is the default, as I have never messed with those settings. Tried lowering the effects volume, which helped a bit, BUT the woman's voice and any other sounds got much quieter too. All I know is something's not right and I have no clue as to why. Tried restarting my PS3 again, as well as turning my receiver off and on again, but it hasn't helped. Tried different tracks and different ships, but nope. Tested the sound through my cable box and it was normal. Has anyone else experience this? It's bugging the crap out of me...
