Personally, I'm fine with most of the audio quality, aside from the dialogue. Ryder's voice in particularly sounds crunchy as all hell. Is it possible for that to be improved?
Indeed it is. There's several options that I know of:
IzoTope RX8's Spectral Recovery is one I can do right now, but doesn't always have the best results. Otherwise, Audio Super Resolution with Neural Networks is an actual thing I've been looking into as well.
I'm getting a lot of reports of it not working on newer versions, but have not had any issues myself. A description of what exactly 'doesn't work' would be useful, unless it's the entire mod itself.
Yeah, several sounds don't play at all on the Steam version. :( Gunfire, sirens, et cetera. Looking forward to whatever you have coming down the pipeline for these. :) Thanks for making it!
Not dead, just going the 15.ai route. I'd rather every sound perfected and implemented for each game before releasing any updates, and that'll take a while.
Don't know if the problem is my fault or not, but after the February 2022 update, when using this mod several sounds in the game just stopped working after a few minutes of gameplay (or in some cases as soon as the game loads).
Such sounds are: -Sirens (Policecars and bikes) -Tire screeches (handbrake drifts and normal braking) -Collisions -Some vehicle engine sounds (police bikes and general sedan engine sounds (taxis and sedans)). -Some gunfile was also affected but only at random.
If this is a user-end problem then my bad, but just pointing these out just in case because they didn't start happening until after the last update.
I didn't notice the other things you mentioned, but sirens are indeed completely absent. For some reason I didn't even realize it until I actually got into a police vehicle myself. I will keep this uninstalled until that is sorted out.
If you have other sound mods installed then the same thing will happen to normal game sounds, because I tried installing a standalone weapon sounds mod and the same thing happened. It seems the game can't handle any sound mods right now.
I really hope you add stereo menu sfx :) Here's a link at least for Vice City: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GB2RMRPXWmPwxQhoxkqnblb-cGSQmNOo?usp=sharing . PM me, if you need sounds for other two games!

Maybe you could check it deeply
