can confirm, a bit more detailed:
In the taskbar there is a sound icon on your windows desktop, rightclick and select "Sounds".
Then go to the "Playback" tab where it lists your devices.
Rightclick on your playback device (the one with the green checkmark most likely) and select "Configure"
In the dialogue, select "Stereo" as the audio channel configuration, click next two times (second thing isnt important) and then "Finish".
Next time you launch the game, it should work with proper stereo configuration.

  My friend is having this issue, but when he follows all of these steps his only configure option is quadraphonic, where stereo, 5.1, and 7.1 are just not available. Last night he eventually just unplugged his headphones, mic, and Scarlett and just used an old headset plugged in directly, and even on stereo he still didn't have proper sounds (no enemy gunshots or footsteps) while in a match. Any ideas for this?

  Can confirm. This thing fixes everything for Windows 10. Sounds -> select speakers -> configure - > stereo (instead of quadraphonic) -> next -> next -> finish and should fix your problem.

    @Uncl3Psych0 but does this give you directional audio? Ie. will you be able to hear enemies on your left if they are on that side of you? Normally stereo just gives you all audio without direction.
