Hogwarts Legacy has very sensitive audio settings, and it’s very possible you’ll hear voices with no music or vice versa if they’re not synchronized with your overall audio set up. Our guide will provide you with tips on how to fix the voice audio issue in Hogwarts Legacy.

- Go to the game’s main menu.
- Select “Settings” menu.
- Go to “Audio Options” tab.
- Set “Mono Audio” to “OFF“.
- Set “Audio Configuration” to “Headphones“.
Note that if you are having this issue, it’s best to set it to the “Headphones” configuration regardless of whether you use headphones or any other audio set up. This should fix this particular audio issue.

- Select “Playback Devices” option.
- Right-click on “Speakers” (if you use speakers), or “Headphones” (if you use headphones) in the “Playback” section.
