"+miles_channels 2" doesn't work, stereo and suround issues - Season 15

I tried to launch my game after the update and an error message appeared.

After that, I checked the integrity of the game files on Steam to maybe fix the problem but it didn’t change anything.

When I read the error message, I understood that this came from the "+miles_channels 2" launch option command that I added to force the sound of the game into stereo.

Playing mainly in stereo, it bothers me a lot that this command no longer works:/

Is there a solution? Do other players have this mistake?

    @AnPajMan Ifound the Solution. You can still use +miles_channels 2 in combination with -xaudio2. So like this:

    +miles_channels 2 -xaudio2

    So I had the problem as well BUT I found a fix for me at least, which changes the channel but on ur headphones.

    To do this you have to go to windows sound settings "System > Sound", then down at the bottom "More sound settings", then double click the headphones you are using.

    Now go to "advanced", then at the bottom it should say "enable audio enhancements", turn that "off" and apply.

    I set +miles_channels 3 and it went Stereo. Testing ingame now.

    Does it show Headphones/Stereo ingame under Audio, last setting?

    @v_Porto_v does look like its working ( in menu it shows stereo / headphones ) but it still shounds * .. better than 7.1. but not quite as good as miles_channel 2
