LouisdeFuines: I experience grave sound problems in that game, that I didn`t have in EOB 1 + 2.
The Intro is just fine. But the rest of the game gives me weird sound effects, that don`t even fit to the situations.
Living creatures make a lot of loud noise, on forest areas you will also hear bird chirp sounds. If you kill ALL the creatures in area you will not hear them any longer (it's possible). The sounds in EoB3 are indeed very loud and bit too much.
In case you hear a dozen of crackling sounds when you swing your weapon here is a fix for you:
