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 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.
