Match Details Screen Audio Issue

Why does the game audio become heavily muffled when accessing the match details tab now?

Whenever you're in the menu to check perks, quests, or the killer power, the game audio becomes heavily muffled to the point where it may as well be muted. It's too quiet to hear Skill Check warnings, Terror Radius, etc. Even once you're out of the menu, it takes ~5 seconds for the sound to fade back in.

This is an incredibly annoying and unnecessary nerf to what is otherwise a really solid feature for solo queue. Since it released, I've gotten into the habit of multitasking and checking what my teammates have while I'm on a hook or repairing a Generator. Previously, it was safe to do becaue you could safely tab back in at the sound of a Skill Check warning, approaching Terror Radius, at the sound of being unhooked, etc. But now you can't hear any of that happening, and even if you do tab back in, your audio doesn't come back for several seconds.

The same update they add the ability to see the Killer's power to help newer players, thhis unnecessary inconveniece has appeared too, which just sours the feature.

Really hoping this is a bug that can be fixed in the upcoming Hotfix. If it's an intentional feature though, please consider reverting it. The match details screen worked just fine before without any weird audio attenuation.

    Thank goodness. Hopefully it's fixed soon, but this workaround will do in the meantime.
