The sound is so broken.
The engines sound awful, The fire sounds terrible, you cant hear friendly ship guns fire, the horrendous fire klaxon is the most annoying
There are few ways to fix this
Revert back to 8.7 sounds asap or in the next patch
Give players the option to download 8.7 sound files
Give players a more comprehensive sound control menu
Finally-->Fire the audio team or who ever is in charge of that department because I am pretty sure they have lived there whole life in a sound proof room, stare at silent movies of warships and are DEAF!
