7.1 Surround Sound Does Not Work

[Tarranium]

I have new pair of Razer headphones with a fancy soundcard and everything, I have tried it in a few games like Company of Heroes 2 which supports 7.1 and it works wonderfully but not for War Thunder...

I have selected 7.1 in the launcher and activated Steam as an admin but it does not work.

When I play the game with 7.1 activated on my headphones it just sounds like it has a very high highpass on it and only 2 speakers actually play any sound, the rest are mute.

oh well mine does play 7.1 and it works fine (at the start they didn't play at all) you might wanna try the thing i did which is to turn of the steam overlay and everything steam related in warthunder and run it as admin.

step 1: go into C: or D: or what ever you have your steam library in
step 2: when you find steam enter steam apps
step 3: enter common
step 4: find war thunder
step 5: find aces.exe (or just aces)
step 6: right click it and select (the lowest option no idea what it's called in english)
step 7: go into compatibility and set it to run as admin

Maybe post this in the Technical issues sub forum for more direct help.

you can try few things

1. set setreo, 5.1, 7.1 in windows (by going to sound) (and looking does your sound card supports more than stereo)
2. look into headphones or souncard software
3. trying to find options in .ini files and try to change it there

This has been bothering me so I'm just going to throw this out there...
1.) how are "surround sound headphones" a thing? Seems to me you could cram five hundred drivers in the thing and it wouldn't make a cent of difference because it is still in an enclosed space 2" (at most) from your ear...

2.) which ear is the ":1" in?

sorry for not being any help but serious questions

I said that they work in a few other games, I did download the drivers otherwise those wouldn't work now would they XD

I can play with Stereo but I'd prefer to be able to use my 7.1. It did cost rather a lot of money after all.

I will try again tomorrow to see if it decides to work then, if you can figure out any suggestion on how to fix it then please share ^-^
