since hotfix for 1.56 from the 3. march weapon shots have no punch

[jumpinghubert 49]

like the title says weapon shots (mx, katiba and so on) have no punch. Settings: x-fi headphone mode + cmss 3d plus headphones, win10. It was perfect with the new 1.56 main update. Now its ruined like before 1.56.

Hi razazel,

 

no luck after checked the integrity. I think there is something changed in the mainbranch hotfix sound engine related with the stereo weapon shot sounds in first person perspective. It sounds like one stereo channel is wrong polarized. The higher mids of the frequency (for the punch) are "subtracted" so only the metallic highest pitch is loud, the rest flat.

Hello,

 

could you please upload your logs to the free file sharing service and PM me to link so I can check them out.

 

I would also recommend trying to run the game without any mods if you are using some of them.

 

Also, if you can, would you mind taking a video of this issue and sending me a link?

 

Thank you

Hey thanks for the quick response again :)

 

I found the problem. At the same time hotfix for arma3 released my win10 made a huge update so a little change of the windows sound settings caused the sound bug I described.

 

The "Soundblaster extension deactivate" has to be checked, look on the screen red circled left.

 

My theory is that it had doubled the headphone mode so stereosounds are less punchy.
