The Witcher 3 problems

So during gameplay the audio is fine, but during cutscenes I cant hear the characters talking. Anyone else have this problem? Also, I don't really know what to set my key bindings too. Won't be able to get an Xbox one controller for the game for a few weeks cause I think that would make the game a little easier to play. Can someone give me some good key bindings to set everything too?

That audio issue sometimes happens if I'm using headphones or 2.1 speaker and have the sound card in 5.1 mode (surround), check that first.

As for keybinding, I just use the defaults and they work fine. Use whatever is comfortable for you.

@FelipeInside: My monitor has built in speakers I guess I could try that instead of my Astro A40's you think that would help? Yeah I tried setting up my key bindings to how I set them up for fps games and that didn't work very good il set them back to default and see if I'm comfortable with that.

The cut scene volume is like 50% less then the game volume... Just another thing they need to patch.

Yeah I turned down the music volume and could barely hear them talking.

The game has audio equalization issues, I hope they patch it.

@JigglyWiggly_: If enough people complain about the audio issue I'm sure they will patch it in their first patch. Just got the game yesterday. Seen how it was rated so and how the story line is really good, but no audio to hear what they are saying is a real let down. Game is still really fun though once I get the hang of it.

Only other problem I see so far that needs to be patched is my fps drops 65-70 down to 7-20 during cutscenes.

I can still hear the cutscenes, the volume does move all over the place sometimes. You can try enabling audio equalization in your soundcard.

As for framedrops during cutscenes, mine stays stable.

Ok il try that audio equalizer. If that doesn't work maybe my monitor speakers will. They are decent anyway. Idk what's going on with my fps then during cutscenes I know it stutters a lot during them too.

My problem and The Witcher 2 also had this as well is that I can't adjust the volume of the game/my computer from my keyboard shortcuts when I'm playing the game. So whenever I want to adjust the volume I need to alt-tab out and change it manually.

I also have reduced volume in some cutscenes though I can still hear what the characters are saying if I listen carefully. Still annoying though.

Me too, it's extremely irrritating and only Witcher 3 seems to disable volume keys on my PC..

What a

I've been reading the problems some here are having. I don't seem to be experiencing any audio problems although in the game, I just arrived at Skellige Island. Which cutscenes are the audio problems occurring in?

Try having your modifiers and actions on different devices, as in Left Shift (modifier) + Mouse 1 (action) for Strong Attack, you don't want to have both handled with the same hand, that's why ALT and WASD for dodge is a bad idea, bind Dodge to your side mouse button, and Roll to the other side mouse button. Alternatively you can Dodge while quickly double tapping WASD but IMO is slower than doing it with the side mouse button.

Bind Radial Menu to the Tilde (key to the left of 1), bind Cast Sign to TAB, bind the Signs to 1 2 3 4 5 and then use quickcasting = http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/38373-Use-Quickcast-for-Signs

If you use quickcasting you can bind Cast Sign to a useless key on the right side of the keyboard, since you won't be needing it, that way TAB is free for something more useful.

Draw Steel Sword to Z, Draw Silver Sword to X, Lock on Target to Q, Call Horse to ALT, Stop Horse to CTRL, Walk Toggle to CAPS LOCK,

they have a "3D" sound feature or something implemented it seems. if NPCs or myself turn away from each other the dialogue volume drops significantly. doesn't sound like the same problem but they could be tied together.

should post on CDPR's site, mods and support seem to be addressing most issues there.

only audio issues i have noticed is that if a character starts walking during a cutscene, the footstep sound will continue to play even after they stop. it is annoying.

still no key for fast loading

@Jr14: have my keys bound perfectly comfortable.

the only problem is my changes to the menus. still have to click default keys to manipulate inside the menus and to close them.

if you have a mouse with enough buttons you an configure these settings to your own. have 6 thumb buttons being used, my ring finger button, and my scroll-wheel's horizontal(left-right) buttons all mapped. so unless you have a nice "MMO-style" mouse they won't do you any good.

will upload config files if you want to try.

I had my very first glitch. During a fight with a Werewolf, my view of Geralt got stuck in close up mode. I can swivel around and see the eyeballs stuff and all. But, saving the game and reloading that save got rid of it. I couldn't reproduce it:
