Loss of Audio

[Man Ray]

I CAN hear the boost, the opponent ONLY when they are front of me or inside my screen view, and my first jump. I CANNOT hear when I touch the ball, my second jump, ambient noise, and when my opponent is behind me or off screen. This is exasperating when trying to judge an opponents location when they are off screen. It's almost as if the game thinks I am listening 5:1 surround sound. However, there are no configuration options to switch to 2:1 or any other audio device options. Only "Speakers" or "Headphones."

Try look on help article here https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/rocket-league-c182/troubleshooting-c203/why-is-there-no-sound-or-distorted-sound-in-rocket-league-a10323

One guy i helped had issue with sound on Windows 10 in past and solved, wrote this :
"I figured it out. I have a 5.1 surround set and my sounds card had 2 device outputs, stereo and spdif, apparently car sounds don't go through the stereo channel 🤷‍♂️ Or at least, they do but, my sound enhancer doesn't pick that channel up"

Or try running game as administrator - (maybe Steam/Epic as well) :

Also are you using some Bluetooth/wireless device?
Let me know.

One guy had issue with not hearing Engine sound and this helped him :
> i just uninstalled my headset and installed it new

[Man Ray]

I checked all of my system settings and there was nothing to configure there. I also checked my steam settings and there was also nothing to configure again. But mentioning reinstalling that dudes headset reminded me of how long it's been since I updated my interface driver.

I use a Focusrite 18i20 with a pair of studio monitors. I use this setup everyday when working on music projects, so I didn't think anything was wrong with the interface. I went ahead and downloaded the latest driver (even though there is no settings or driver update tab in the software) and set the Output Preset to "2 Channel Analogue." I don't know which of the two worked. However, after installing and restarting my PC, I can now hear everything in Rocket League just fine :)

Thanks for the response!
