On PC this problem can be fixed by procedure:
It's a very annoying thing.
I am gamedev, I don't know if i am right but i feel like the surround sound is based of the pelvis of the character and not to the camera, it is why when we are in 3rd person view in vehicles the location of sounds are not accurate.
And when we are in first person view sometimes the camera is not facing to the same direction to the pelvis.
The surround MUST be based of the camera and not the pelvis.
@Xeinaemm Unfortunately, that does not work for me.
Can we have at least a confirmation that our issue has been taken into account ??
This needs to be addressed ASAP as it is very impairing... Cannot even hear an helicopter incoming...
Playing with 2 bowls on my ears would give the same result...
I figured out the problem(described here:WH-1000XM3 can only use Stereo OR Hands-Free but NOT BOTH over Bluetooth | Why high-end wireless headphones with headset functionality are UNUSABLE on Windows 10 : sony (reddit.com) ).
The problem itself is related to drivers inside headphones. For example, Windows sucks in context switching of input & output so it's resulting in poor quality of sound because of switching to microphone settings. Most of the problem is related to the microphone, BF2042 uses it, and the microphone driver takes precedence. On other hand iPhone & android doing it well and so on.
It is not even the problem with positioning. It is hard to know from where bullets or vehicles coming, but pretty ok. The main problem is sound QUALITY. I watched few clips and videos from pc platform, and sound quality was pretty decent. Playing on ps5 sound feels like it was recorded in SD-quality. Especially it is noticable on some reloading animations and pretty all of explosions.
I have an example with SWS-10
You can clearly hear how bad tactical reload sounds, while the one with empty ammo is okay (but still not as good as it could be)
