I have this same issue! Me and my partner love this game to bits, we’ve clock nearly 400 hours but this issue is really immersion breaking for us. PS5 and PS5 Pro both have this issue. Audio starts a second after the animation starts and then cuts off early, or sometimes no audio plays at all. Has killed some really important moments and feels like we’re playing a broken build of the game (no mods installed btw). I get the feeling this is a bigger issue with split screen? That’s how we play it. Hope patch 8 sorts it but not holding my breath based on the sentiment in this forum frown This is mainly act 3, I don’t think we really experienced in act 1 and less so in act 2. Was hoping PS5 pro would fix it but alas.
