tremanarch 6 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) bpls listen with headphones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhreno-wSK0&feature=youtube_gdata - sounds extremely weird - "Listen to the helicopter noise when I turn the head how the sound blends in / out in one and the other ear.." now you see what I mean, the left or right ear is completely silent. thats not realistic nor comfortable to play. just dont make a 0% - 100% Volume range but: 55% - 100% for example.

Greenfist 1863 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Damn it. I watched the video and wondered what's so weird. Read the rest of the post and it didn't reflect at all what I experience. On the contrary, my balance is more like 95%-100%. I've had a lot of trouble to recognize where the gun shots are coming from. Then I realized my headphones must have been broken for months now; short circuit somewhere on the cord so everything is mono... Thank you so much! ;) edit. a little bit of duct tape later; stereo sound achieved and you're right - that's a disturbing "bug". In real life there's always some echo to the opposite ear. You should make a ticket for this. Edited July 31, 2013 by greenfister duct tape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tremanarch 6 Posted July 31, 2013 ;) yeah playing with heaphones is a little weird with those blanked out sounds when turning the head. I dont know how difficult it is to change the range a sound lowers in volume for right / left ears... if they dont like to change it for all users - they could just add a headphone profile (like many games do it). they could just make the headphone profile blend left right audio channel into each other for 30-40% (depends if they use linear or logarithmic volume values) and the problem is solved...

Masharra 10 Posted July 31, 2013 Hmm so that wasnt my soundcard being silly. I can confirm that on my system it does that also. 5.1ss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tremanarch 6 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) here a graphic that shows it: its really noticable and annoying when playing with headphones or if you have studio equipment sound monitors (> 2000$) - hifi and stereo gamer speaker stuff wont recognize it as prominently.. easy solution: blending the channels into each other for a headphone sound profile http://abload.de/img/unbenannt6paqd.png ============= the problem is not only a minor bug, could be considered as a cheat if you stand near a noisy tank and just turn the head 90° and you can hear the ambient world without tank noise with the left ear!! (wouldnt be possible in real life - or can you stand beside a starting jet and only hear the jet with 1 ear?) Edited July 31, 2013 by tremanarch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heruon 1 Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah, this was in previous iterations of their sound engine aswell. Is there a ticket for this issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tremanarch 6 Posted August 11, 2013 I fear not! Maybe if someone with proper english could phrase this.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
