Compared to other classes, the volume of female Arbites personalities is too low

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs

Issue Type (Required):

Audio

Issue Description (Required):

I usually play female characters. Same for Darktide. I played every possible female personality in the game. All classes except Arbites are audible, can be heard from a rather sensible distance and are clear as to what they are saying.

This isn’t the case for Arbites at all. The voices are very quiet, as if they were whispering. This audio issue affects all 3 personalities - Fatalist, Maul and Authoritarian. You can barely hear the audio if you are like 15 meters away from a friend. The same doesn’t happen to any other female personality, which makes Arbites audio volume inconsistent with other classes. Cops are loud, they command! They don’t whisper.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Create a female Arbites, pick for example “Maul” personality.
  2. Join a friend, have them pick some other class. For example female Veteran’s Loose Cannon.
  3. Load into any mission.
  4. Stand around 15-20 meters away from each other.
  5. Do the “For the Emperor!” voiceline multiple times.
  6. Observe how quiet Arbites voicelines are compared to Veteran.
    Do the same reproduction with any other non-Arbites female personality.

Second way of reproducing: choose any female Arbites personality, go to audio settings. Set everything to 100%. Queue for Auric/Auric Maelstrom. During heavy moments, do the “For the Emperor!” voiceline. Notice it’s barely audible, if at all.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Indeed, there is this issue. The voice of the female character I chose has a low pitch and speaks very fast, to the point where even I can’t hear clearly what my character is saying
