The visual is amazing but what is wrong the surround sound!?
I played a lot of games with my home AV with up to Dolby Atmos, I can name many “blew my mind” sound stage games. Saber what happened? Who took the decision to not test your game with surround sound? My LFE (subwoofer) is not used! Your sounds are like plain pastas. A really flat EQ here. I cannot play the game because I don’t understand why a game so much violence have a weak sound stage. I need to feel everything I do. I have a DualSense and the experience is a nice touch with the adaptive triggers. If I remember WWZ had no problem with the bass for example.

Please comment this post if you have the same issue. I tried every Speaker Configuration and the Dynamic Range. I think it improve for 5 % the sound with a Small range. I hope the dev will confirm this problem, to give me hope. I cannot get a refund if the game will stay like that. This is not normal.

ROFL! 🤣 Ooook! You can read? I have a Hi-Fi home theatre with Dolby Atmos. I don’t use headphones. That’s the point of my post.

I gotta be honest: I've been a musician for decades, done audio production and sound reinforcement, worked on both sides of the studio desk, and while I understand the technical details you're talking about have no idea why that might be. I've got a nice 5.1 setup on which SM2 sounds positively amazing. My subwoofer is definitely getting a workout given how often my wife complains about all the krak grenades and bolter fire :)

There's times I play this game and the sound and music are absolutely amazing, but there's other times it falls flat in the same situations. Like we'll run an operation and it sounds great. Then we'll run the same operation again and the sounds really are falling flat. I'm not sure if it's from alt-tabbing or what, but it does definitely happen and I know what the OP is talking about. I don't have a full hi-fi setup, but I do have 2 ELAC Debut's 2.0 B6's, which I'm very happy with. I don't know why the sounds are great and then not though, sorry.

Looks like youre the one that cant read because he told you to start using headphones, not that youre "already" using them.

I have a samsung 990c - dolby atmos. Sounds amazing. Can hear everything form every direction and the explosions/guns sound great.

You need to sort your sound system settings maybe.

Thanks for the constructive comments about your experience. I play many different games per weeks and I NEVER touch Windows settings for the sound. I want to understand why this is happening to me and not some of you.

Obviously I did:
- Restart
- Uninstall/Install Dolby Access
- Uninstall/Install AMD Drivers for my Radeon card



A friend came with his headphones to help me to troubleshoots and I can hear what is should be. The bass when they walk is what I expected :). Maybe this forum is not the place for developers to read me and help. Maybe I can ask for the support from them, but don't know where. They have so many sub companies for this game. Maybe Saber?

If someone know where I should go/do, I will appreciate. Thanks.

Good thing that i am not an audiophil and my low budget stereo headphones still let me hear where the enemies come from.

Well, when you eventually hear sound and good developed sound from a good sound system, your opinion might change.

"good thing I've never tasted sugar, so I don't know what sweetness is".

What a dumb comment you made.

Oh wow an personal attack, what a nice way to answer. I know your kind, just because i struck a nerve you dont have to be that hostile.

Brother, it was a reply, not a personal attack. Stop being so sensitive, but sorry if I came across as rude. Truly, I mean it.

I switched off music in the game.
Now I have ZERO sound problems.

Even your apology cant be sincere and must have a quib. I am too sensitive?

The only thing i wrote is that i cant hear the differences anyway so i dont need pro gear.

But you insulting me because you felt attacked by that simple remark makes me the one beeing too sensitive?
