Having trouble hearing things in Cyberpunk 2077? Do you tweak the volume sliders because the combat music is too loud, only to find you can't hear the songs on the radio? Or you can't hear people when they're behind you, or you're sneaking, or in a car?

If so, modder Floyd2099 may be your savior with a mod that has tweaked roughly 800 audio files to re-balance the mix. The description explains that with this mod high-volume night club music remains loud, but won't completely drown out dialogue, and while the combat music also remains loud, the difference between it and the rest of the ambient soundtrack should be less pronounced.

Note that it doesn't do anything about missing audio, so if you've noticed missing audio when you jack into radio towers, for instance, then you'll have to wait for CD Projekt Red to patch that one.

And yes, it is an 11GB download. It's available in 12 parts on Nexus Mods, but you can also download it from a Google Drive mirror, which is nice.

A security flaw that led CD Projekt Red to warn players against downloading mods has been dealt with in a recent hotfix. With that in mind, here are some of the best mods for Cyberpunk 2077 so far.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
