    I play tsw3 on an Xbox series s. I watch tsw3 PC videos and notice some sounds that the train makes like the horn sound way more clearer on PC than on Xbox. If there is a fix for this then please tell my how to fix it.

    Because of the audio engine xbox uses. Each platform has a different audio engine dtg uses when porting it to different platforms. They have to basically use a completely brand new audio engine. They've done a workaround which got rid of the jackhammering but idk if that was the audio overhaul they were talking about

    Then compare it to the xbox version. The midland mainline hst shows the difference perfectly

    Trust me theres a whole thread regarding xbox audio issues which as far as I can tell nothing has come of. Myself and others have posted many videos of the issues and raised tickets but we don't know if anything is happening with it.

    I uploaded a video of safety system volume issues and distortion so will put here again:

    the external audio is always louder because "external alarm" is turned on, it will play the original volume on the outside directly into your ear, while in the cab it has a specific audio source where it comes from, and is also sometimes quieter

    Not that loud on older stuff though. The 465 as shown is horrible. Used to be fantastic on TSW 2. Theres definitely been a change between 2 and 3 in terms of levels and distortion :)

    The horn on the RHTT 66 sounds very much like the AWS horn on the old BR diesels. Also very quiet.
