Bug #275

Low Volume Survivor/Killer Menu Music

Status:	New
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	j...s@icloud.com on December 13, '25
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.3.2
Actual Result:	Music is so quiet it is difficult to hear over idle lobby noises
Expected Result:	Music is loud enough to hear over idle lobby noises
Severity:	Cosmetic
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	In the video, notice how low in volume Vecna and Sable's lobby musics are from the main lobby's christmas theme (which is the intended volume and how it used to be almost 2 years ago)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the game
2. Enter either the survivor or the killer lobby
3. listen to the music; it will be notably quieter

Explanation

The music in the menu for Survivors/Killers has been way too low to be able to hear over idle animations or the bloodweb; its been turned down by like 80% of what it used to. For some reason, the main lobby music (when you select either killer or survivor) is fine, its just all survivor and killer menus that are bugged.

Other reports on the old forums have been made. There are additionally a few Reddit posts about it:

If you notice, the second Reddit post showcases how the bug doesn't affect older legendary cosmetics. There have been repeated assurances whenever it is reported that it is, in fact, a bug and not an intended design, yet it has been almost 2 years without a fix.
