No Zombies, Boss or Loot drop sound

I'm playing PoE HCSSF Guantlet, and since the update, there is no audio from Zombies, Bosses, and Loot Drop. I have restarted the game and my console twice. The ambient and voiceover character audio are working correctly.

Sounds like you have lost the "sound effect volume" channel. In the game (at least on PC version), the sound is split into different categories, such as some of the ones you have mentioned. There are separate options for ambient and dialogue, but I think the things you have mentioned loosing might all be under the category of "sound effect volume".

Have you checked the slide bar value for this is not on 0 in the sound tab of the options menu? Perhaps it got changed with the update. In the Production config file on PC it is possible to set this value to false, which turns it off completely. I'm not sure how or if it is possible to access that, or something similar on console, but it may be something has changed settings related to this.

I'm currently playing gauntlet on PC and have had an update in the last hour, without encountering this. So it would seem to be either something with console, encountered by only some people, or specific to your setup. I don't have any knowledge beyond that, but if you are unable to fix it or get a solution here, it might be worth trying some of the technical sections on the forum, which may have more knowledge of the workings.

Thank you for your feedback. I will send a message to the technical forum. I have tried the volume. There are more audio issues, I have discovered.
I see. Good luck.
