Seems like game recognises your sound setup as surround (5.1/7.1), which it isn't. Did you check your default playback device settings?

yea Russians apparently don't know that a lot of PC's have surround (5.1 or 7.1) as default.
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Click on Hardware and Sound or whatever your sound settings is called.
3. click on 'sound' unless you have realtek HD Audio manager then click that.
4. If you clicked on "sound" and opened it up, go to the 'playback' tab
5. Right-click on 'speakers' and click on 'configure speakers'
6. Now change the setting to 'stereo' rather than surround (5.1 or 7.1)
7. Itll probably ask you if you want the sound coming from speakers left and right, yea choose that. Just get it out of surround sound.

And thats it. You're game should sound a whole lot better and hopefully you'll be able to hear people talking, baddies coming up behind you, and your own weapon firing. :D

P.S.: Let me know if it works for you by dropping a comment below. :)
Also, some computers are set up differently so the settings may be named differently but still the same garbage.

I use 5.1 flawlessly on the Metro games. I use the Realtek HD Audio Manager, what I did was set the manager to 7.1, and disabled the "Side pair" of speakers. Works perfectly on every game I play. For whatever reason if you set it to 5.1 it will insist you have front (L/R), center, sub, and the side (L/R).. But what it should be doing is setting it up for front, center, sub, and rear. Of course you can't switch between side and rear if you set the manager to 5.1. So set it to 7.1 and there you have it! Or at least I have it...

Of course if that doesn't work out for you definately do what Jackuri said. Also to expand on what he said, you can usually access your Realtek HD Audio Manager from the system tray as well. It will be a speaker icon, in a very bright orange, hard to miss.

This fix didnt work for me, all sound cuts out at the ladder in the prologue, I have 5.1 creative hardware with an x-fi sound card.

All my speakers appear to be up correctly with no cutting out or anything... just weak gunfire sounds. Perhaps this game just has weak gunfire? For those above who are now working correctly is the gun shot sounds as punchy as you would have expected?

I deleted the game and reinstalled to fix my problems.
Riaktion Sep 2, 2014 @ 10:51am 
I wonder why that worked? Thanks for the tip though :)
