Broccoli00 0 Posted October 31, 2019 After the latest update i noticed (whilst wearing my headphones) that the sound In Arma 3 changed quite a bit, i don't know if its a glitch or bug but now rather than the sound being 'surround sound' (aka i can hear in both headphones when outside a vehicle), instead now whenever i turn my character left or right, that dictates which headphone the actual sound comes through. An example would be starting up a helo, yes i can hear it in both headphones when inside the cockpit, but as soon as i get out, i can only head the sound of the rotor blades and engine switching off according to whichever side my character is parallel-wise to helo itself. I know for a fact that this has changed because before-hand it was deafening when one exited from a vehicle of any sort when it was still running (not that its bad at all it). If anyone know anything about this or has experienced it themselves a little help would be gratefully received as sound in Arma 3 was one of my if not my favourite feature of the game! Thanks in advance for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance for any help I don't think the sound has changes, that would be a major change and thats ot happening anymore at this satege of the game. I though somethign had chaged when i tikerd aroudn with setings of my sound chip, particularly virtuel suround etc. A lot can go wrong if you enable 7.1 on a headphone, for example suond cuting sharp off in directions and behind, and overall strange effects with loudness in vehicles. Keep in mind, ArmA sets default sounds to 5 now, but VoN to 10. It helps to revert sounds and speech to 10 and reduce VoN to 4 or less since everybody seems to put their mic on max and scream all day to be louder then anybody else on the server.

Broccoli00 0 Posted November 1, 2019 Okay cheers i get where you're coming from, but its just that i haven't changed any of the settings at all, i even went back to see if they were the same and they are, but the best way i can describe the sound change is with whatever weapon i'm using. Nowadays whenever i'm reloading i can only hear the sound effects in my right headphone whereas beforehand it was in both at equal strength. I have no clue whats going on but it just seems a bit 'iffy' to me if you get me?! As for 'enabling 7.1 on a headphone' could you please tell me how i would find that particular setting because now looking back through what you've said i believe that could be the problem as that sounds awfully similar to what i'm experiencing!
