[1222] Avatar audio is inconsistently muffled or not by Earmuff Mode
complete

Certain avatar audio appears to be unaffected by Earmuff Mode while others get muffled just fine.
Unmuffled avatar (try firing the gun for example): avtr_2736085f-5869-44a7-9390-e51a408ccf81
Muffled avatar (try the singing on this one): avtr_357f7b62-4442-4fc1-b08b-6126333234bb

Salbug: This is partially not a bug. Earmuff mode was designed to target other player's avatars. If the audio source is attached to the exact center of your avatar then there's a good chance earmuff mode will read it as 0.0M away and not muffle it. If another player uses the same avatar and is outside of your range it will be correctly muffed. This is the case with the avatar linked in your comment.
The unmuffled avatar linked in your original post did indeed break Earmuffs though, so thank you for the report! It should be fixed in the next open beta.

G8S: It happens with other users avatars audio as well I'm afraid! Other users avatar audio tends to not be muffled.

Salbug: Yep! You are right and it should be fixed in the next open beta. I was just trying to help clear up why you could hear your own audio in the video provided while you were wearing avtr_80cd794a-36e8-4c68-9852-9809d3e5db49
