On PS4 for some reason 90% of players using standard voice comms are quiet in the overall sound mix. However unlike the other sounds there's no way to individually adjust the public voice comms within the game.
When bullets start flying it can be incredibly hard to hear your teammates. I even tried lowering the individual sound elements via the options but not the overall volume but this didn't seem to help. Note that if you use PSN party chat instead it's fine as that's seperate to Apex itself - of course the problem being that you then have to make a PSN party and invite players to it manually - and with no easy way to bring up player PSN profiles ingame that's impossible too.
Please add a seperate volume control for public voice comms in the game, and raise the voice comms default volume.
Note this isn't just me, I've ad the same complaints from friends, so now we always make a PSN party just so we can hear each other properly ingame.
