Wierd audio bug

[Glymner]

I just normal stereo headphones but some how it seems like the game thinks I have surround. I can only hear what it directly infront of me and the footsteps cut out wierdly.

Same issue here, currently troubleshooting it. Did you happen upon a fix?

Edit: I've fixed mine. I have a surround sound capable sound card, and the output settings in the software for it was set to output to surround where it's all normally set to stereo.

Have a look in your system tray or control panel for your audio driver software and have a look there. Hope this helps.

I've just had a couple of big windows updates, and I think something may have reset my settings.

No I tried verifying cache, removing the config files and reinstalling the game. Nothing works. If you have realtek soundboard you can enable Headphone Virtualization to mitigate it some but its still there.

Anything extra in Playback Devices part of windows audio you could disable?
wondering if it's drawing properties from other devices than the primary for some reason.

Also make sure 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device' is unticked in the Advanced tab for your headphones.

Windows update caused this for me too, I found that disabling "Enable audio enhancements" in the advanced tab of the properties for my speakers resolved this issue
