BF2 - surround sound bug

MathSWE · Mar 25, 2006, 11:05 AM

Hi all,

Ive been scavenging in all sorts of forums and it seems like many people have this bug, but I have still to find the fix for it.

I play BF2 and have a Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. My speakers are a creative 7.1 set.

Everything works fine and I can very exactly pinpoint from where every tank, helo, soldier are coming from. That is, if they arent coming from dead on.

If I hear a chopper to my left, and turn towards it, the sound moves towards the center. But when the chopper is in the center of my screen, and the sound should be heard from my front speakers or center speaker, it fades to mute. All sounds around me are still there, but no straight ahead sound. Ever.

I have updated with the latest creative drivers. My set is calibrated. All speakers are confirmed to be working and correctly connected. Still, no dice.

PLEASE, if there is a solution to this... other than getting an X-FI Fatality, if that'll do anything... help me!

In the sound settings of bf2 try setting it to software mode and see if thats still happening.
