Helldivers 2 audio problems on PC
No sound or poor headset audio
Sound is missing, sounds bad or plays on the wrong device. Arrowhead says Bluetooth headsets and headsets with separate Game and Chat devices are the usual causes.
How to fix it
For a Bluetooth headset, turn off Hands-free telephony in its Properties under Devices and Printers.
If needed, stop the Bluetooth Audio Gateway service and set its startup type to Disabled.
In Windows Sounds > Playback, make the Game device the default and the Chat device the default communications device.
Turn off playback devices you don't use.
Press Windows + G in game to pick the audio device, and check your headset's own software.
