Can we Keep Chase Music The Way it is?
So I play both killer and survivor, I have for a little over two years now. I will admit though I do play a little more killer than survivor, but one of my favorite things in the newest update was the reduced chase music as both a killer and survivor. I enjoyed it as a survivor because it is easier to hear footsteps when mind gaming a killer around a loop that blocks line of sight, I love it as a killer because if I get blinded at a pallet I can still fairly accurately follow them still even while not being able to see. If survivors really wants the chase music increased that is fine! Can we at least keep it at the same level for killers?
Also they have confirmed that it is a bug apparently on the Dead by Daylight reddit as confirmed by not_Queen and Peanits:
If you are playing with headphones, you can check if your sound settings are stereo or surround. The game is calibrated to work with a stereo settings.
I know there is more than a few sound issues but this really helped a lot of players (specifically with chase music levels and double sound issues)
The chase music isn't fixed in this hotfix, but we're still looking into it. For the time being, some people are saying that disabling surround sound audio fixed the issue for them.

I like this 'bug' too. The music was always too loud, and distracting from the actual in-game experience. Sound design is just about the most important thing for a horror experience, but sound levels are right up there with importance. Can't be waiting with baited breath, hoping for things to work out if you've got music blasting your eardrums constantly.

I suggest they give us the option to lower or raise the volume of the chase. There are others out there beside myself who like the music as it was.

One "bug" that wasn't game breaking and stopped people having to overcome ruptured eardrums to hear breathing/wimpering. It is an excellent "bug".

It should be a feature. Being able to hear Survivors breathing has been a feature we’ve been asking about for a long time.

Please keep it as a feature then. It's way better than having music blasting your ears.
I previously had to lose chases intentionally just to be able to listen to footsteps and breathing again.
Or, at least give us the option to control the volume with a couple of sliders, for the ones that actually like their music louder.

I find the audio now much more enjoyable and informative.
