Wow, that is a bizarre one. So no, I haven't experienced it. At least I don't think I have. Now I'm going to have to try spinning the camera around to see if things actually are quieter when facing the back.
The one weird sound effect I get is sound of the experiment emote from the science pack. I occasionally faintly hear the sound of the liquid pouring even when nobody is around.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
I find that happening if I use 3D sound. Did you change your sound settings lately?

I don't believe so. The game won't let me use 3D sound, and I don't have the set up for it.

3d sound doesn't mean surround sound. It just means that it will make sounds quieter or louder depending on which side of your character the sound is coming from. This can be achieved even with only 2 speakers. For example, people setting off powers to your left will be louder on the left speaker, and people setting off powers to your right will be louder on the right side. It changes the sound for forward and backward as well, but I'm not exactly sure how.|

It does sound like a possible side-effect of using 3d sounds, but if you don't have it enabled in-game, I guess that's not it.
Okay, I figured out the problem. The cable for the sound system was not connecting properly. Silly me. >.>
Anyway, just ignore this thread. Everything works fine now.
Funny I had always had 3D surround sound with my 5.1 speakers and SB X-Fi Extreme UNTIL now! Seems the 3D setting is unavailable now since I upgraded from XP to 7. And it was 3D as I could tell when something was behind me to left or right or in front of me to left or right. NOW I can only hear left and right. What happened?

Okay, has anyone else ever experienced this?
Sound effects in gameplay are oddly hushed. My super strength brute, for instance. The punching sound effects are muffled when I look at her from the back, but if I swing the camera around to the side, I hear the sounds just fine.
Likewise, footsteps and jumping noises are all but silenced.
I did just install a new graphics card, but I dunno how that would change the sound effects.
