[Sound] Enabling 5.1 surround sound?

(CPT C@pslock) #1

How/where can we activate it?
I am using a Medusa NX 5.1 Usb headset.
How can we check if surround is already used (not with our ears!)?

This is important for every 5.1 user!

Why does noone care about 5.1 sound?

I use a true 5.1 headset too.

Guess we just have to enable the virtual surround rubbish.

The sound engine is ****ed up and is a big piece of junk, you’ll never have 5.1.

Deal with it.

I think you can set speaker count and some advanced sound settings in the Brink Configurator v1.5.

Hey guys. Felt like I should chime in here in support of your problem,(and mine) to see if we can get some sort of reply.

I too am having similar issues. If I play with 5.1 running, (optical) then i seem to be missing some of the ambient sounds such as radio chatter, weapon sounds three feet away from me etc. I changed the format to 24bit 44100 stereo and the sounds returned as they should be. Then, a map and a half later every sound just sort of disappears…

What’s weird is that they seem to exit a few sounds every few seconds or so at a time until I am left with complete silence.

So ok. bugs and things aside I must ask this. How in the name of all things digital does this make it through Q & A?

On board sound has been around for years now and is pretty much the mainstream for most folks these days. I build my own rigs and have used pretty much every configuration of PC part since 1994. I even tried my Sound Blaster XIFI as a bit of a test and disabled the on board to see what happened. Same thing I am afraid.

Can we at least get a “we’re working on it” type of reply please? Comeon guys, we aren’t going to sue, we just want to know if you guys can hear us… please?
