Audio has extra reverb

For the past week or so, I've noticed that after I've been playing for a while (it seems to be after I alt-tab the first time), all of the audio in the game except for dialogue and music has an extra amount of reverb tacked onto it. It's most noticeable when I jump. Upon landing, the noise my feet make is very reverb-heavy and sounds like I'm in a cathedral or something. However, it happens with all audio except for the music and dialogue, which still sounds normal.

It's not a massive problem and restarting the game does seem to fix the issue but it does get really annoying and having to restart the game any time the issue happens is a massive pain. I haven't changed any hardware or settings on my PC or on ESO, so I don't think it's an issue on my end. However, if this is somehow on my end and anyone has suggestions on how to fix it, I'd appreciate it!

    Sorry to do this but I need to bump this, as I'm still having the issue. As I said before, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to try them!

    What are you Alt Tabbing to? If it is a sound streaming program, it could be it is grabbing the sound processing of the system. Maybe there is a why to fiddle with Affinity and sort this.

    Also, look at any programs you have installed in the past couple off weeks, or updates to any programs for some more clues.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I’m on PS4 and have noticed it as well. For me it seems to occur after the character has entered into an area that would naturally trigger the reverb to be enabled - a cave, for example. Once reverb has been turned on, it seems to stay in effect until I log out and back in again. I’ve not done any extensive troubleshooting on it but did notice this several times over the weekend.

    Usually just to read articles or whatever when I wait for the load screens. That, and occasionally Discord, but not very often. As far as other programs, the only thing I recently installed was RAGE 2 and that was just a couple days ago which was after this issue started.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with it. Very frustrating, I hope we can figure this out because I hate having to restart games very often.
