sounds not audible from far away?

[Darwoth]

not sure if this is a limitation of the emu server or yet another client "improvement" that sony made or if i simply need to tweak something, back in the day sounds were audible from a good distance away, if someone was casting a spell you could hear it dozens of yards away from your character and it got louder as you got closer to the person casting it.

here however you can hear nothing unless you are standing on top of the person, even your own spells will cease to be audible if you move more than a few feet from where you cast them.

is there a way to get proper sound or do i just have to deal with it?

I've noticed that sounds a moderate distance away are really quiet or can't be heard. If I'm on top of a caster or casting myself, then it's really loud and I usually take my headphones off. The "normal volume" range is very small. I've looked for an 'audio taper' type setting, but can't find anything. :(
