Yeah I actually got the answer faster on the discord. Figured I'd ask in both. I hadn't expected this to be such a pain to resolve, guess I'm old fashioned and prefer when it used to use the .ogg files. Just kinda wish they weren't so intrusive with no level of control over them past muting all...
Well my plan was to grind into the new year hunting it but I got it about 9 hours into the hunt today. 153 total Mil Lilies. Not as bad as the first time but this one doesn't have 25H.
As far as I'm able to tell, nothing is set up to output 7.1. I did get to the bottom of the issue though, turns out the culprit is Dolby Atmos. Toggling the surround virtualizer it has in it did nothing to resolve the problem but just disabling spatial audio entirely fixed it. Odd that this...

Mag choice is also pretty important. Twins are a must for pretty much any mag but I really like running Rati on casts for the full S/D triggers they have.
So many years and this still comes up. It's the problem with jack of all trades classes, you get level 30 techs but no decent tech bonuses or MST to make them amazing and you have ATP for excalibur but at that point you're a watered down hunter. Just another flavor of HUnewearl if you ask me.
