Why?
Literally every character has some sort of clipping / volume issue that sounds like they're halfway across the room. I really feel like it's taking a lot away from a story that is already not the best.
Is anyone else bothered by it?

Have you tried watching on different streaming sites? I am watching it on crunchyroll and I haven’t noticed anything like that.

I just did and it persists between 3 different sites. I even downloaded it from somewhere else to make sure it wasn't some kind of server side issue. Guess I'll have to do some volume mixing whenever I watch this show in specific.

I'm kind of guessing they recorded these from home instead of studio professional mics since they might have been in lockdown while doing the voice recording. That's at least what I tell myself when every new episode appears.

Not sure if the previous episodes had a audio problem, but I watched episode 4 and the audio was a bit 'off', but I just thought it was my headphones. I really enjoyed watching it anyway.

I’m wondering if it has to do with COVID-19. I’m assuming so.

Episode 4 is definitely badly recorded. I am 99% certain they acted this out over Zoom. They may have even recorded their parts separately; on the episode forum, someone noted the reactions between characters seemed unnatural, as if they weren't responding to each other and just reading their lines from a script into a void. Whatever the case, their voices definitely all have that recorded-in-my-bedroom sound.

Agreed, from 1st episode I actually noticed some parts have low and/or distorted audio. Kinda like one recording with just their home PC then uploaded in some kind of "3 MB size for 5 minutes" MP3 file. Even livestreamers on many other sites got better audio output.

Often also like the character sounded like they are in really deep-tight enclosed boxed karaoke spaces thus sounds kinda echoed, which does not match the anime characters talking in open spaces. Perhaps the audio room where the VA done the voice recordings got bad walls / carpet flooring? Bad mixers?

Eg in 4th episode, the scene when Ichika and Tamaru done the task, in front of the storage. After Ichika locked the storage, Tamaru then mentioned about their meeting in previous episode which Ichika reply has this "Aaah, that meeting blabla..." dialogue. the "Aaah" part is really noticeably bad sounded and echoed, like you are talking in bathroom with the walls are just half meter away from you or like some kind of AI on those sci-fi future games/movies are talking. But the next scene where Ichika embarrassed and doing monologue to herself sounds good.

I'm not sure why but I actually love the low audio to this show. I don't know if it's on purpose or not but the conversations feel less "pitched" than every other anime.

I think they did the recording at each seiyuu's home. The main guy having the least desirable set up. Echo is everwhere.
