From Blueberry's reply here.
"Microsoft has received reports that audio in certain games is quieter or different than expected after installing this update. At the request of some of our audio partners, we implemented a compatibility change that enabled certain games to query support and render multi-channel audio. Due to customer feedback, we are reverting this change as some games and some devices are not rendering multi-channel audio as expected. This may result in games sounding different than customers are used to and may have missing channels."
Sounds like you got ripped off by whoever sold you those "studio monitor" headphones.
I'm a sound engineer by profession, and any headphones that don't offer multi-channel compatibility are de-facto not professional headphones. If you actually paid $400 to $500 for those, you got scammed.
@WingmannedbroI would never spend that much on headphones and I don't buy "gaming" headsets either. And yet again I suffer no sound issues playing BFV or need to use a "workaround. Imagine that

Then your headphones are not nearly as good as you thought they were. Studio headphones are not sold anywhere under $350,-
- @Wingmannedbro This issue has nothing to do with headphones. Besides Studio monitor headphones come in all kinds of price ranges. Doesn't even matter anyway. If the game is having sound issues it ain't my fault.
Been playing MW and there are no sound issues in the Beta.
Not even sure what you are arguing at this point since it makes no sense to the issue.Dude, Blueberry literally explained what the cause of this is in this post.
And sorry but no, you cannot expect to use any hardware, even very bad stuff, and expect that to work flawlessly with a game. That's just not reasonable.
You can't complain your screen resolution isn't HD when you're using a 1999 CRT monitor.
If your headphones are bad, your headphones are bad.
