Xboxone Skillsounds bug

Title: [Xbox One] Missing Skill and Attack Sound Effects after Latest Patch

Platform: Xbox One
Game: Path of Exile 1
League: Standard

Description of the issue:
Since the most recent update, all skill and attack sound effects are missing during gameplay on Xbox One.

Music, NPC dialogue, and ambient sounds are working correctly.

Only the sound effects of abilities, attacks, and combat skills are not playing.

The issue occurs consistently in all areas and with all characters.


Steps already attempted:

Verified in-game audio settings (all volumes are set correctly).

Checked Xbox system audio (set to Stereo Uncompressed).

Tested with both TV speakers and headset → same result.

Performed full console cache reset.

Cleared local saved data for PoE.


Despite these steps, the problem persists.

Impact:
The lack of skill/attack sounds significantly affects gameplay, as combat feels incomplete and important audio cues are missing.

Request:
I kindly ask the development team to investigate and address this issue in an upcoming patch. Several other Xbox players have reported the same bug since the last update, so it seems to be a client-related problem on console.

Thank you very much for your support and
for continuing to improve Path of Exile.

Greetings, Ralf Bischof/AnanasEmu33
