Fortunately, they are aware of the problem and made an announcement:

>> We are aware of audio issues, especially during talks of day 1 (2024-12-27). Some talks have been released in a preview-version, but are still being worked on behind the scenes.

Here's a somewhat cleaned-up version of the first 25 minutes (used Adobe Podcasts):

Yup, the audio was so bad that it started to hurt my ears and had to stop. Would love to watch/listen to a version with fixed audio though!

Sounds fine to me... ? It's not a native English speaker, but the audio seems entirely standard for conference audio.

For me (English audio) the first ~13 minutes clips pretty hard.

Likewise here. Even tried the audio only link. It is also choppy, can the organizer upload a better version? It is quite difficult the hear what he is saying sometimes.

Yeah, it's not the first time they have sound problems. Really frustrating, especially for non-native speakers.

I was going to blame wireless mics, but they seem to be fixed?..
