    They've fixed this issue on the latest patch (3.1). It's not included in the patch notes, but I just tested and it now works.

    Keep in mind that this is 5.1 only. As stated in their options menu, the native mix is 5.1.

I don't believe this issue has to do with the cores being used to process audio. It's more likely just not set up properly on the game side (Frostbite). It's likely that QA doesn't test for audio issues such as these, and that the audio team was probably testing on Xbox or PlayStation dev kits. At least... I hope this was the case.

The Battlefield series is known for its audio, and so having this game does not properly output in surround on PC is a shame. Is there anyway to get this bug over to the devs at Dice so that we can guarantee visibility?

    Do you set the audio to surround or auto?  It didn't fix it for me in 3.1
