Does 5.1 Surround sound work for you?

[AllemaleAquamaler.®]

my sound sounds like stereo

is it broken or just me

[ryu600RR]

audio too low on my headphone, can't even tell if it's surround

[WindBlade]

have a 5.1 setup and the surround is working.

there is no settings option concerning stereo or surround, when i turn 180 and have my back against the nps the voice still comes from the front speakers
wtf

Sometimes anyway, its barely surround. For me it is 5.1, but sometimes it is impossible to tell. Occasionally you can tell there is discrete directional sound effects coming from the rear channels.

It does feel very flat at least some of the time, or at least with too much of a heavy bias for the front channels.

That said, there are some times where it does sound really nice and I forget it's an issue. But there are times when I feel the mix is front-heavy and earmersion breaking. I kinda like my immersive audio and when it doesn't happen I cry a bit inside.

for me its more like all channel stereo, skyrim and fifa 18 had more immersive sound, bummer

[Bishop-Six]

5.1 here, works very well and with good quality

[AllemaleAquamaler.®]

ok thx dude maybe its a bug

It feels very weird to me too. It looks like some sounds are 5.1 and some are stereo (like background music and random npc dialogs)... stopped playing cuz of this... but this is only in Cyberpunk... in every other game my sound is just fine

I have a 7.1 system, that had dd.5.1, dts, 7.1 and so on decoding,
but i see no way to have windows send me a 5.1 signal through the game, that makes the DD or DTS system activate? And no settings for it in the game?

I use Neural X upscaling, which is nice, but it works via a stereo-signal from windows, even on SPDIF, right?

Instead of 5.1 they probably just emulated surround, the "studio" setting doesn't make full use of my system anyway (PCM output to my receiver via HDMI).

Also sometimes I swear I can hear weird things that definitely shouldn't be there, like when getting out of a chair it sounds like someone is holding and fumbling a microphone.

[Ellis_Cake]

Yeah i dont think we have true 5.1 (or even atmos) output from the game as it is, and i don't know many (if any?) games on Windows that have sent true surround data via spdif either?

Now that's funny. You got 7.1 speakers but it plays in 2.1 anyway? Well I got surround headphones but I play in 2.1 cause Logitech's surround is S**T, and game forces surround on me so when I turn my back on an NPC, I have no sound at all.

The game should simply give an option for what type of sound you want instead of forcing audio on everyone when it clearly cannot detect it.

[Ellis_Cake]

The game does not send a DD or DTS or otherwise PCM signal,
and there are no options for it.
And windows does not offer it through the game either.

5.1 is working very well at my system. I hear my Char mostly speaking through my rear speakers and all other np`s in dialogs though front speakers.

City life ambient sounds works too with all speakers, depending on my position.

For those of you getting decent multi-channel sound ... are you using the analog outs of your sound card, SPDIFD (optical or coaxial), other? Thx.
