New steam audio bug. 1768
needs more information

Open vrchat and go anywhere.
World audio seems fine.
Voices are bugged, they sound perfectly fine sometimes and then out of nowhere voices sound really loud/close or sound like they are coming from the wrong direction.
Maybe a spatial audio bug?

similar experience. for me, the audio breaks when im really small and near to someone. it becomes heavily directional, like coming out only in my right or left ear, even when they're almost in front of me

Any updates so far?

I'm on an Index headset.
Also happening to me. When I'm looking at someone ahead of me it sounds okayish, a definitely more muffled compared to the audio before the update.
However, if I am hearing people from the left or right to me it's almost overwhelmingly loud in one ear compared to the other. Sure yeah it gives spatial sound but now it sounds like people off to my sides are talking right into my ears.
The best way to explain it is before the update audio sounded like people were standing off to my side. Now it just sounds like being in a discord call but only in one ear. It feels like the ear that is not facing the person is clogged with cotton. I've had people be 10+ feet away from me sounding like they might as well be right next to my ear whereas someone 5 or less feet away from in front of me is half the volume of them (even though when both in front of me theyre the same volume)
Seeing as I'm easily over-stimulated by audio (the earmuff update was a godsend for public lobbies) this audio update has made it kinda unplayable cause now I'm bombarded by voices of people off to the side of me

Vaelyna I feel exactly the same way, overwhelmingly louder in one ear compared to the other, voices don't sound like they're coming where they should be.

im having similar issue but I have no voice audio at all everything else works fine ive checked everything on my end and double checked everything from drivers to visual studios to make sure everything i have is up to date and vrchat is the only app having issues for me I hear everything but voices and people are able to hear me but without hearing people the game is unplayable.

Can you provide more information?
Do you have any logs or video of this happening?
Is it specific worlds? Can you provide links to them?
We are unable to reproduce this on our end.

Any worlds.
I've tried in at least 7-8 worlds.
It seems to mainly affect me when I first join worlds then it clears up for a bit and comes back randomly.

I could try and get a video but those are kinda unreliable on my quest.

Forgot to mention earlier I'm on quest 3s.

I reproduced this video that fairly matches this ticket but for the Drone in Furry Hideout. Drone + Audio From Camera = audio direction from user and audio loudness/proximity from drone

The "Audio From Camera" setting and Drone FPV mode issues are already under investigation, but seem unrelated to this task. Please open a new canny if your symptoms don't match what OP is describing.
