Sennheiser x Massdrop headphones plugged into audio jack on mobo Z170x 1.1 MOBO Realtek Audio Manager up to date, audio drivers have been restarted I did nearly every combination of spatial sound and virtual surround enhancement, as well as turning it of, while doing a full restart for every setting change. I spent the last 2 hours troubleshooting this. None of the audio scape is working correctly. Conversations can be heard through walls/vehicles. Gunshots sound way too close, and when NPCs reload it sounds like I am the one reloading. Part of this was sent in a ticket, however tickers are restricted to only 1000 characters, which is unacceptable.Īudio bleeds together too much. I will be posting this in the other thread I made specifically about cluttered audio. That's it, run the game an enjoy, and let me know if it helped your case.

Or just keep them enabled for a 'permanent solution'. * You can disable sound effects again, if you want, just don't restart the driver (or the PC), else it'll just be broken again. Note: 'Spatial sound' is 'Off' in my case, don't know if it's important but keep it off just in case.ġ) Open 'Realtek Audio Console' > 'Speakers', uncheck 'Disable All Sound Effects' (basically, enable sound effects)Ģ) Go to 'Device Manager' > 'Sound, video and game controllers' > 'Realtek(R) Audio', right-click and then 'Disable device', and once it's disabled, right-click again and 'Enable device'. Follow carefully, both steps are important.

This might also give some direction if you're using the Digital Output or a non-Realtek audio solution. Guys, those with the Realtek Audio drivers installed using the analogue 'Speakers' output, I found a workaround for this that doesn't involve any third-party virtual driver nonsense.
