Just a quick poll to see how common some of the sound problems I've been getting are among other people. I'll be putting up a more detailed post with my particular information in the help section later today.

Basically my issues are,

1) Sometimes my gun does not produce a sound when I fire it. I do hear the bullet noise and impact on target, but the gun itself never makes a noise. It's happened to me with several guns, currently using an M14. I do believe it still attracts zeds though, and is probably audible to other players. My guess is some kind of client side problem. It comes and goes. Might be related to getting hit by zeds, but it has also occurred without being hit first. (ie. joined server, used gun on zeds from distance, was never hit)

2) Some directions are completely inaudible to me. This maybe be related to surround sound, sorta fixed it by switching my headphones to stereo. For instance if a person is right in front/behind me I can't hear them in Direct Comms. If the are to either side I can hear them perfectly. It fades out as I turn towards them. Seems to also apply to gunshots and zed noise.

3) Sometimes I can't hear gunshots that my buddies standing right next to me can hear. Might be related to 2), but by switching to stereo mode I fixed those issues. at least I think they are fixed. Could also be related to 1) if that bug can affect other players guns, at least on my client.

Well, that's that. Anyone else have these/other issues?

EDIT:

May as well give basic info now. I can look up specifics at home later.

Sound effects and comms are maxed. Are there any advanced setting I might have overlooked?

Using a G35 headset. The switch is on stereo for now. Drivers may be outta date.

Im using a Simple Soundblaster X Fi, 90% over Speaker in 5.1

Never Had any issues in Arma and or Dayz!

The Only Thing i can tell is the Effect Setting in the Sound Options.Max it and you can hear much further then normal.

But be careful,if someone is shooting right next to you with a Sniper ..... it scares the shit out of you :P
