Just came back after about 10 months off. Just discovered the 1st person view. Awesome feature. Buuut everything sounds muffled (which makes sense, but whatever this is a game not a simulator). Is this normal? From the orbit view i still hear my turrets go off and everything (though other sounds like locking onto enemies sounds much quieter than before). Is there some setting i need to change to make it so i can hear my turrets go off when in 1st person?

thanks

Nah, it's normal. Personally I find it a cool effect, but so far as I know the muffled sound is everyone. UPDATE: This morning's patch notes for the new release indicate we'll be able to adjust the audio in first person mode via the advanced audio settings.

Thanks for the info!

I've found that i like it depending on the weapon. Lasers sound okay, but hybrids were pretty much totally quiet (which again, is realistic but not so fun).

Glad to hear we'll be able to customize it cause I'm loving first person view.
