Windows 11 Audio Bug
I recently used the dev insider channel to upgrade my windows to windows 11. Now, it looks and feels great except for one big problem; In Apex Legends, for whatever reason, it all of a sudden plays ...

Same problem. In Apex audio settings, at the bottom it says 7.1 Surround. But we need it to be Stereo.
I have a B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard and I'm using the latest Realtek Audio Driver provided by the MSI on their official support page. Before I upgraded to Windows 11, I didn't have any issues on Windows 10 with this exact driver.
Well, adding the line +miles_channels 2 to the launch options is working but thats not the same exact sound I was hearing in Win 10. I didn't try other games though.
I somehow solved it after changing the type of Spatial Sound in setting to "Windows Sonic for Headpones"
For me to have virtual surround working in Windows 11 I had to do the following:
- in Sound Blaster Command I have set virtual sound to 5.1 (that's my preference I found it subjectively better than 7.1)
- in Sound Blaster Command I have enabled SBX and adjusted "surround" to 100%
- I have disabled all "audio enhancements" in sound options for my Sound Blaster X3
Tested with: https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html (use appropriate audio file)
You should hear center channel "right in the face", left and right on proper sides and surround left and right behind Your head/ears.
Yes, thats also a solution for some players but when I enable Windows Sonic, horrible sound quality follows.
Well I have the Realtek Audio Console and I need to add that specific enhancement which is the "Bass" from that console since my Apple Earbuds 3.5mm headphones provide better sound quality both in-game and in Windows. Whenever I add enhancements from there (or Windows, doesn't matter) the game just recognizes my setup as 7.1 Surround, instead of Stereo. Didn't have any problems on Windows 10. And whenever I disable those enhancements, the problem just disappears, however, I need that bass enhancement to have a good sound quality.
I'm stuck with the +miles_channels 2 launch command, it provides a solution but not a decent one. It just makes the game force Stereo, but I still hear the sound as Surround, just like the other people who specified that. Thanks for the answers anyways.
