Experimental Version

1.7.0.13

Mission

 

Is it modded?

Description

After spawning in I noticed that my audio is not functioning correctly. Ambient sound appears to update across all channels correctly, but all other sound (effects, voice, announcer) only update on the left channel. I have restarted the client to try to fix the issue as well as trying several audio codecs, including turning of spatial, but the audio does not update correctly.

Another thing of note, no matter where I appear to move, it always sounds as if my character is still standing next to the CQ tent, so I hear the flag rustling in my ear as if I'm standing still.

    Currently using a Logitech Pro X 2 LIGHTSPEED headset, the issues persist, center audio channels appears to be joined with the left. Tried a different headset and still the same issue.

    Experimental is so weird because of stuff like this. I've personally tested this issue with 2 different headset pairs and haven't found the same issue. Mine worked perfectly. Even tried messing with some Windows audio settings, and it still worked fine. Have you encountered this issue in any other version?

    No, I have never encountered this in my time playing Reforger. From what I've searched this seems to be quite a unique issue that other people HAVE had in the past, but I personally have not had this issue.

    I wanted to note that I am not using the Logitech software to control my audio, only the drivers necessary for my headsets to function how I intend for them

    UPDATE: This issue only seems to be active when playing as the FIA faction and on a multiplayer server. Other issues I've noticed with the sound as the other factions is that when a helicoptor/vehicle/gun fire is within ear shot, but still far away, it sounds like it's happening right on top of me and as if I am in the combat, even though it's happening several hundred meters away. Also note, this issue is only active when using the Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed. I will try to capture this, and come back later with footage.

    UPDATE: After having logged in to test things out again after the last few updates, the audio issue still exists and is present on all factions.


    One thing of note I came to update today: I have a Logitech Pro X and a Logitech Pro X 2. When using the hardware Aux-to-USB driver from the Pro X kit, the sound issues are mostly fixed. The one thing I've noticed that is still incorrect is that my personal footsteps in First person view.


    Here are the Medal clips that show the issues I'm experiencing with my particular set up. When I change the audio to the speakers on the desk, the issue is still there, but less noticable.

    This is on the official MP servers. When I start a Game Master match from the main menu I do not notice any of these issues when playing
    Audio Issue #1 - Pro X with spatial Audio
    Audio Issue #2 - Pro X without spatial Audio
    Audio Issue #3 - Pro X 2 without spatial audio - This is the setup I use to game with all things, it is also noticably the worse.

    The first two are at least somewhat managable to play with, the audio is spread across the all channels. However the third is quite worse, I have no real indication of direction of sound, and 80% of the gun fire is coming from places other than where I am located. All of the gun fire coming through the left side only is quite a distance away, where as the gunfire coming from all channels, but predominately the left side, is local.
