Loud broken audio buzz when fighting abyss on PS5 pro
When fighting an abyss in red vale on ps5 pro, a loud broken audio buzz appeared. It keeps coming back every time I unpause. It sounds like an actual broken audio subsystem - very loud technical buzz, almost like microphone feedback. I had to restart the game to make it go away; changing areas didn't fix it. 0.3 launch

Thanks for your report. Which skills were you using during the abyss? Are you using Ravenous Swarm?

ps5 It's fighting any abyss monsters and when they come out of the cracks. Using slam skills here. |

Experiencing the same issue, based on my experience I believe this audio issue is related to the Abyss mechanic.
First maybe second Abyss my audio completely messed up, the sound coming from the game was so bad I had to log out which didn’t fix the audio issue so restarted the game. All Abyss from then on the audio gets distorted when there are a lot of enemies and Skills going off it’s like the game in that moment can’t handle all the audio from different sources, multiple enemies, skills etc. Ranger, I was using Poison Burst Arrow and Contagion. Base PS5 Friend on PC was a Witch with some Minions and Essence Drain. My friend had no issues with their audio. Please fix. Last edited by Dealz#9662 on Aug 30, 2025, 9:50:58 AM

i had the buzz sound as well during intense abyss hoard spawn in combination with the swarm aura ability and chaos auto spread damage. i got it partially fixed by checking router denial of service attacks fixing that and restarting ps 5 and clearing network cache. after that the buzz noise did go away .preformance was as you aware.
i use a base PS 5 slim. |

Having the same issue. Audio starts Buzzing.. Restarting PS5 Pro, etc temporarily remedies the issue. Had it happen several times.

Same issue here and audio seems to bug out generally for me. If my character or boss starts saying something the sentence usually stops after one word and the word gets repeated multiple times which also causes the game to stutter and lag.
For example In the Apex of filth the boss says sometimes "Flatten!" and it sounded like "FLAFLAFLAFLAFLA" and the game stutters also. Really annoying. |

Base ps5 here.
Using flame wall with arsonists, contagion, and essence drain with witch. I'm getting this audio overlapping/noise whenever the action picks up. When voice lines trigger during these times, they play 2 or 3 times, in a stuttering fashion, overlapping, along with the rest of the duplicating audio. Even happened with Count Geonor's dialogue as he jumped into the arena. |
