Potential fix for this (worked for me). Apparently when I messed with windows settings I found something that fixed my issue, if you right click on your volume/sound in the taskbar you will see something called "Spatial Sound". The default setting is off, but if you go there and enable the setting "Windows Sonic for Headphones". Once you do that, you will notice when you enter in Apex you will see the audio as Stereo/Headphones. Now to "enable" surround 7.1 go into origin -> Right click on Apex Legends -> Game Properties -> Advanced Launch Options and then add "+miles_channels 8"
I am using the 7.1 Surround Sound Razer app with my Razer Kraken 2019 Headphones. I tried to find a solution to this but didn't seem to find it anywhere until I tried.
Now I don't know if it will work with other programs or headphones, but I suggest trying it. If it doesn't work I am sorry I didn't help you.
I also don't know a solution for you guys playing Apex Legends on Steam.
Hope this helped.
I am in Origin, and the problem is not activate the 7.1 sound. The problem is when you activate the 7.1 sound all the channels prodece the same sound like a 1 channel system. I have Razer synapse with THX Spatial Audio, and the system say that apex is compatible with thx spatial game mode. In season 6 the audio worked perfect, but since season 7 the spatial audio dont works. So many problems with audio this season. My sister plays in stereo and same the same, so many problems continue with the audio, terrible, the las audio was better. There was a patch to fix the problem of no sound in weapons and steps near the waterfall in Olimpus, but the problems continue in some situations. Sometimes you hear your own steps like distant steps, and so other times don hear well the steps and distance from other players. Nobody in EA say nothing about this, no answer, what I will do with my audio system? I ask to support and no solution, only a sorry and wait for a future fix.
