Bug #9612
Background music sounds much worse than in prior versions probably due to over-compression
100%
Description
Version:
KSP 1.1.1 Windows 32bit and 64bit
Reproduce:
- Start KPS
- Listen to theme song or any other background music
Issue:
All background music tracks sound like they have been heavily compressed (something in the range of <= 64kbps) on a lossy codec. This is particularly noticeable in the theme song which sounds artifacted and washed out, especially when directly compared to 1.0.5.
My suspicion is that this is not only true for the background music but also for all other audio used in KSP, but due to the shortness of the samples it's hard to hear/prove.
This has been reported for the theme song only at: http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/7856
Since the issue is definitely true for all background audio and still persists in 1.1.1, I thought it might help to report it again in the main tracker.

I do no longer hear the overcompression. If you do I suggest doing a full redownload of the game to make sure you eliminated the corrupt file.
