surround sound still broken

[tylerrepotter]

Still can't change the audio to system default. It keeps reverting. I can't find a setting in the config files that we could change either. Anyone else find something like that we could manually change?

My headset can combine 5.1 and stereo. I know i didnt refer to game settings gone....
That was not my point. I have sourrond and had it for years.
I can hear were the sound is comming from, like footsteps.
Has been like this in older cod i have played. Never change this setting.
It seems that some others have more knowlege about this than your bragging....

By the way my game setting was on win default....

I think you need to check the games settings again, its on stereo, its a bug, you may have tried to change it to windows audio, but when you leave the menu, and go back in to the audio menu it will be back on stereo.

All older COD's have always had surround sound, never has a cod game NOT had Surround sound. So your 5.1 headset would be making full use of the multichannel audio, that's why you had the directional audio.

But since season 2, they have locked it to 2.0 stereo. so you are better turning off all audio processing your headset software does and just use stereo until they fix it for this game only.

If you don't believe me, just play the single player campaign, and hear the difference in sound as this still has the surround sound enabled.

then go back into the multiplayer or warzone 2 and you will hear the difference.

Its night and day....

There is no option for this setting "Speaker output" in campaign.

full disclosure people, the game is in fact ONLY stereo.

the devs removed all surround options from the game due to the bugs that were persisting with things like footsteps.

now, we have "faked surround through stereo," which has literally been the way all CODs have done their sound.

this was the first legit one they tried to implement surround into, and they failed miserably, thus the change back to stereo only.

this is also the reason why sound is bugged in the game atm.

airstrikes aren't making noise, the announcer for the game is failing to notify people of incoming soldiers and such, and footsteps of course get completely bugged out and silent.

it does not matter what kind of headset you have, ALL PLAYERS ARE HAVING SOUND ISSUES RIGHT NOW. - it's also not persistent, sometimes it works great, others you are missing half the audio of the game.

and the game is on FORCED STEREO.

Where do you get your info from, my friend.

Christ, warzone 1 has surround sound, blackops has it vanguard has it, BO3, they all have it, advanced warfare has it. tell me which ones don't have it.

Even this one had it up until season 2, which was working fine for the surround, it was the stereo only part they were trying to fix, and broke everything.

Every call of duty has always had surround sound. way back to 2003 if you include EAX cards and such.

But defo the last 12 years. I don't know if you are talking console only, but on PC, if you had the sound card, then the games have always supported surround sound!

Can you tell me which ones you think don't have surround sound?

I know, there never has been, all you have to do is make sure you have turned on spatial audio in windows, not sure what you use, Atmos, DTS or 7.1 through your sound card.

The game goes off what your windows audio is set to. That's the way it used to be in the multiplayer, until they added that stereo button option, and broke everything.

Still stuck on stereo sound, can't do surround like they promised they would fix in S2 reloaded.

It's fixed for me as of S2 reloaded. Make sure Windows is set appropriately, and try toggling back and forth between Stereo and Windows Default in-game.
