Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When i originally bought the game on release, you could hear the comms chatter between members of the crew on the Argo while you sit idle or travel. You get the intercom open sound then some dialog then the intercom close sound. But for the past year i get the intercom activation sound some slight static and the deactivation sound, no dialog what so ever. All other dialog works fine for me. This is caused by the fact that the intercom chatter is forced through the center channels which these headsets fail to send through. Wanna know the fix? Allow us players to put the in game audio to stereo (force everything through the left and right channels) Or allow us to set it to mono where all audio goes through all channels equally. I have posted this issue many times in several forum post and even donated to a live stream at the hope that the devs would respond or give us an answer. My donation was taken and was promptly ignored. I was hoping that we could get a fix with the heavy metal expansion but the answer is no. So here is hoping they actually respond this time.
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue
Go out and buy the latest headphone that synthesis surround sound such as the Logitech 935 and play the game after you get the argo, you will hear the intercom activate and deactivate without dialog.

I'm having the same issue, and what bugs me the most about it is that it only cropped up a few days ago. As best as I can tell I've changed no settings, but the Argo background chatter just... stopped one day, leaving only the intercom sqawks. Verifying game didn't change anything. I have not as yet tried a re-installation.

EDIT: A reinstall did not bring things back :(

Sometimes i wonder if Hairbrained schemes is even fixing bugs like this. We have complained about this issue back in 2018 We keep trying to resurrect this issue but not once has a dev responded to a single post about this problem. Its like they stopped caring. Some of the older threads were deleted completely.
