JozMk.II Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Title says it all. The new surround sound with the 1.1.0.8 update is simply not benefiting me at all, quite the opposite in fact. The bass has been reduced considerably; it no longer feels like I'm in the heart of a massive flying beast. Is there any way to set the audio to be more like it was in 1.1.0.7? I'd prefer to change the settings of a config file, but am willing to take a look at some mods if anyone has any suggestions. Or heck, is it possible to replace some 1.1.0.8 files with older 1.1.0.7 files to get the desired results? I'm using a Sennheiser PC350 headset set as stereo speakers, NOT full range. For a sound card, I'm using my EVGA X58's on-board audio. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
Kirin Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Interestingly enough my experience is the other way round. With a full 5.1 headset (Tritton PC510) the sound, especially the engines sound much 'fuller', more saturated which greatly enchances the immersion. I even had to turn down overall volume to 80% and increase TS3 output volume to keep understanding my squadmates. Now when I go to speakers 2.0 the sound is less 'basey' and very thin as Joz described... so thumbs up for surround sound! And maybe an option in the control menue for 2.0 stereo optimized sound.
JozMk.II Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 Huh, increasing my my cockpit and engine volume seems to have helped. Unfortunately, NATEIRL's file adds too much bass for my tastes; it's simply too out of balance with the higher-frequency sounds. Maybe I'll PM him, see if he can give me information on customizing the settings in the file...
