RonnyRulz: I finally fixed this. Loading screen audio was incredibly soft. Voices were a huge problem. I knew the problem was surround sound settings / center speaker issues - but I have a Digital Optical connection to a stereo setup. Witcher 3, for whatever reason, was sending a bad audio signal.

-=My System=-

Setup: Klipsch 20B soundbar connected via Digital Optical cable to MOBO audio ( Realtek ALC1150 )

My soundbar has Dolby Digital encoding in it, but the problem was it wasn't receiving Dolby Digital from the source (PC). My audio driver that came with my MOBO failed me in this regard, so I installed an unlocked version that DOES allow Dolby Digital. So now it sends the correct Dolby Digital signal to my (stereo) soundbar. The center speaker is no longer missing.

-=The Fix=-

Install unlocked Realtek Audio Drivers. Also applied the "Surround Sound Fix" for windows.

darkedone02: Whenever I load up my game or occur to a cutscene, the volumn of the voice is so freakin low that I can barely hear that i have to almost max out my sound bar up to volume 32 (max volume).
