Cannot hear audio/noise when character's back is turned away. Windows 11
I'm having a sound issue in Apex where when I turn away from sounds, I don't hear it. Apex is saying my Windows Sound Configuration is set to 7.1 Surround, but I do not have surround sound speakers. I use normal Headphone with Mic when playing Apex. So if my character's back is turned away from anything that make a noise I dont hear it or it is VERY low and I must be facing the noise for my headphones to pick it up.
I did a switch to Windows 11 and this happened, this was not an issue when I was on Windows 10.
Platform: Steam
GPU: RTX 3070
CPU: R5 3600
MB: Gigabyte B550M DS3H, and my Headphones are connected here via the 3.5 jacks
RAM: 32 gigs @ 3200Mhz
I found a fix for this issue.
I entered "+miles_channels 2" in Steam Launch Options and the game recognized my Windows Sound Configuration as "Headphones/Stereo".
After a few days playing with this setting, I removed it and the game did not revert to "7.1 Surround", so my issue seems to be fixed.
