Laundry list of sound problems from the new patch

This is also affecting ps4/ps5 version as well. Several audio issues, blights crashing as well.

For me this problem extends to boss encounter dialogue as well. I tried setting my sound channels to the maximum it also has not fixed anything. Stuff I have encountered:

Maven brain "die beam" often fails to play boss dialogue (and when any dialogue fails to play it also does not show in chat)
Maven memory game dialogue often fails to play
The Abilities the Maven herself casts seem to have no issue playing dialogue
Shaper beam dialogue often does not play
Atziri Dialogue seemed to work perfectly fine

I did not try sirus but that boss has had sound channel issues in the past and honestly would not surprise me if it does now.

Edit: Forgot to add that bosses that have multiple lines of dialogue at the beginning of an encounter seem to play at the same time specifically the beginning of the maven and uber elder encounters

Boss sound dialogue seems to be bricked aswell, hope its fixed before expan release.

Would be great if this could be a priority fix before the launch, it has high potential to upset a lot of players otherwise.

So thats why tyty's filter plays louder in my right ear xD I thought I never noticed before even tho I start with it every league :p

Yep. Saw this happening a few days ago when I was testing my 21:9 monitor before league start. In juiced maps item drop sounds just keep interrupting each other so this will feel horrible on league launch if it stays this way.

Can confirm. Logged in yesterday to start testing some things. Loot filter sounds just don't play or only play in one ear, even when not using the loot filter, sounds are being interrupted by other sounds so when one sound plays it cuts off the last sound that started. Game audio is just not working right at the moment.

I usually play with only item filter alert volume up, and everything else off. I get some random sounds now, seems death sounds from spiders (blight) and scorpions (Atoll Map) and im sure lots more. Also sounded like the lightning tower made some sound as well.

Try turn off Reverb?

For whatever reason, I think that some sounds are 'duplicated' in the background, and play once normally and once for reverb purposes.

I say this because If I disable sounds from prodoction_config.ini and then leave Reverb on, two bugs seem present.
1. Some sounds ignore the sounds=false settings (some kinda tagging issue) and these sounds play normally.
2. Some sounds (Others, sometimes the same as 1.) Play through Reverb channel, thus those sounds are loaded/played twice as I understand it (if you didn't disable sounds)

It's kinda weird but interesting if you disable sound effects and monster deaths still echo through the Reverb, like instead of silence it sounds like you're eavesdropping on a PoE player down a hallway or through a window

Some more information (if it is even the same issue):
1) I play with item filter and chat alerts on only - everything else is reduced to the minimum from the options (haven't made a hard disable, too lazy after OS reinstall - I will test that next).
2) I still hear certain sounds. The ones I've been able to identify (so should be reproducible) are:
a) Stagnation boss AoE ability, looks like a wave made of hexes that travels on the ground texture - only thing from that boss that bypasses "sounds off". Video: https://we.tl/t-RcyEXBW3yV
b) Some ability that certain legion sergeants have - it seems to be produced when they are hit (but the buff/ability is not always on), sounds a bit like a shield being struck in certain games. It's definitely hit-triggered and can get REALLY intense (I am playing a Spark build).

Some of the delirium sound effects are still played with "sound_effects_volume2=false" in production_Config and volume bar at 0 in client options.
