Solution just in case anyone happens to stumble on this looking for answers, you know that dongle that came with the headset? as a lil usb attached with two inputs (1 for headphones 1 for mic)? throw it away and just plug the headset jacks in to your pc inputs, or keep it and only use the microphone (pink one) with the usb dongle as it removes alot of the interference that typically comes with using microphones with PC’s/Laptops.
The surround sound just isn’t worth it for inbalanced audio, not a trade off you should have to make.
Turns out it was happening in every game, it just wasn’t as “obvious” to me as it was in Dirty Bomb for some reason, the speech and your gun noise would be loud and crystal clear on the right headphone whilst the left lacked the TLC it needed only really receiving ambient noise and other game audio. Being a wannabee “audio-phile” this makes me want to do evil things to the engineer who conceived this hardware xD.
Anyway’s problem solved, I would like to apologize for thinking that this was a Dirty Bomb problem and not a hardware issue ; )
