mr.g-c 6 Posted November 30, 2009 Anyone else plays Arma2 in surround mode (5.1)? If so: Did you notice, that when any sound effect is just slightly off the point you are currently looking at, that it vanishes completely from the center-channel and instead is fully played on either left or right channel? I am able to reproduce it on 2 different PCs and i have direct compared it with Arma1 Surround-Mode and its great in Arma1. So Arma2 is simply unplayable for me in surround-mode, as i get totally wrong impressions where a shot was coming from or a explosion is happening/whatever other effect. I think the center channel must be widened and a "overlap" between center and left/right channel aswell as from the left/right to the corresponding rear-left/rear-right, must be there like it was in Arma1s surround mode. I'm about to file a detailed bug-report with graphics explaining all, IF im not the only one with this Problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Jong ill 10 Posted November 30, 2009 I get a similar problem but I'm using headphones, anything that "plays" directly in front of me will be barely audible. As soon as I turn the head of the player either way it'll then become clear in which ever ear is facing the sound, this often means I have to turn my head away from peoples faces when I'm talking to them just so I can actually hear what they have to say.

Master gamawa 0 Posted November 30, 2009 Ι have a 5.1 speaker system and I end up playing with headphones because sound doesn't work as expected. It doesn't work right with headphones either I don't know why... But I've learned to live with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3245 Posted November 30, 2009 Same here. For PvP gaming I set to headphones (2 channels), as 5.1 often makes it very hard to locate the sound source direction/distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted November 30, 2009 Ahh very good, i will file the report in the Bug-Tracker then..... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted November 30, 2009 Never had any problems with 5.1 3D audio positioning, except for the "narrowness" of the center channel as mr.g-c described. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted November 30, 2009 Never had any problems with 5.1 3D audio positioning, except for the "narrowness" of the center channel as mr.g-c described. Yes thats the issue i want to put in the bug-report.... Played with my Denon-Receiver/Klipsch-Speakers/Heco-Subwoofer powered sound system - means when you play with real speakers, its not that very bad somehow - but as soon as i put my 5.1 Headset on, its really unplayable! :eek::( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kklownboy 43 Posted November 30, 2009 yeah its nowhere near the "complete" surround that A1 has... Hope they put some time on that in the near future. I guess we just miss the actual H/W accelerated sound of A1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
