Surround Sound - Direction of sounds, struggling to tell.

[Dave]

Hi All,

Is the 3d / surround sound in this game working correctly? I often find myself spinning around trying to determine where mutants/shots are coming from. I play on steelseries nova 7 and use the SS GG Sonar app which is usually very good, but I just can't seem to get it right for this game... there is no preset for stalker2 either.

Does anyone have any advice? Am I doing something wrong or is this just the state of the game.

It's not working properly. Probably not tested. When you go up a ladder you hear footsteps behind you

3D sound is not working. Stereo sound like from audio speaker in the headphones is the best you could get.

It's also weird that the player does not get any indication of the direction someone is shouting at him from but gets an x-ray enemy detection indicator, which lets the player know, through walls where enemies are or through a red hud that enemies are still around even though you cannot hear or see anyone or anything

Pc Audio has sucked since Windows Vista, there were a lot of security issues with audio in windows XP and although it sounded amazing and was amazing MS just decided to kill the pipeline instead of fix it.
Go try Oblivion on WinXP with an Audigy Card, it’s such a damn shame.

There is a pre set within sonar for this game if you have the latest update for the software.

I've noticed that mutant sounds appear to be really close when in fact they are considerably far away.

I cant stand the sounds of grenades, they always sound like they landed right on your feet when they actually landed 5000 meters away from you...
