Does this game surround sound?

[umeng2002]

After looking through the game binaries, I see it's using XAudio, but the Windows spatial sound isn't activating Dolby Access or DTS Unbound.

I have Dolby Digital via optical but can't get 5.1 surround sound,that sucks.

I'm getting 7.1 PCM surround sound when I play it. Got my PC hooked up to my TV this way: HDMI out of graphics card to my TV, then ARC from the TV to my receiver.

Same to me. No Surround Sound via spdif. I have the Same Problem with Terminator resistance too. Other Games works fine with Surround Sound

It's your imagination. Although sound does come from all speakers, there are no channel separation other than stereo.

You can confirm this if you find a NPC talking or a radio. Spin yourself around and you will notice the radio sound never gets separated to play on the rear speakers only when you have your back turned to it.

Well, I don't on 7.1, but I Do on 5.1.

Arc wont passthrough 7.1 PCM, max is 2 PCM stereo only, do you mean Earc, its a big difference, what receiver you have, mine is a 2015 yamaha so am stuck with just arc.

It does have surround sound, but I resorted to using Virtual Audio Cable to trick the game into thinking there are 7.1 speakers so I can use DTS Sound Unbound with headphone HRTF.

It's convoluted, so I won't explain in this thread.

I used the 5.1 realtech audio hack for win11 and when the game starts my surround sound system says its decoding a digital suround sound signal but the sound is still not coming out of the rear speakers.
DTS audio works in movie files tho but this game doesnt.

Real time Dolby or DTS encoding isn't the same as the game actually using surround sound. If the game is only stereo, Dolby or DTS encoding will just encode a stereo signal, that is why I resorted to using Virtual Audio Cable. That presents the game with 6 or 8 channels, and essentially "forces" the game to output in surround sound.

The Dolby Atmos app works perfect for me. Give it a go if all else fails..!!

You get real surround sound out of of the game just using the Dolby App?

5.1 Dolby Digital Live or DTS Interactive via spdif out to my receiver.

Ah... I think that is because your card already defaults to surround speakers in Windows. I've using HRTF with DTS Headphone, so my normal Windows' speaker setup is only stereo... but using the Spatial Sound in Windows should present the game with virtual surround speakers.

However, that tends not to work in Unreal Engine games, so that is why I resorted to using Virtual Audio Cable - to present virtual surround speakers to the game.
