I'm not sure how, but I cannot hear my own character (or animal AI like deer, wolves, etc) any more. No footsteps, eating, breathing, or anything else. I can hear all of these things from other players clearly, as well as the ambient sounds of wind & birds, but nothing for my own character. Also to be clear this constant, I have not had these sounds for several days and no amount of toying with my audio equipment (Sennheiser PC37x & GSX1000) has changed anything, neither has verifying game files or a complete full reinstall of the game to different drive.
