The Audio Mixing in Odyssey is Terrible

All the audio levels are mixed terribly. I set my audio to default because I had some unique preferences (Music low, voice lines high) but the problems still persisted. I can't hear my autos hit. Every sound blends together. There's no sound that goes off when something is killed. It just feels lifeless and nothing has impact. I don't know if any of this can be fixed but as it stands now, playing Odyssey feels like a chore due do not feeling like I am doing anything.

At the very least, when Lore VOs pop up, lower other sounds so they sound clear. Speaking of lore I also feel like that's not implemented too well into the mode. I don't understand how Kayn is related to the crash plot at all? What is Rhaast's relation to Kayn in this universe? I feel like the answer is "read the short story". If so, then my critique still stands because playing the game gives you NOTHING other than some characterization.

Does anyone else have these feelings about the audio?
