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 ...
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.
