It sounds as if you have a set of 5.1 speakers and that you have 2 speakers chosen in the game, or that you have 2 speakers and that you have chosen 5.1 in the game. If you have 4 or 5 to 1 speakers, do you have your matrix button pressed? This would try to upmix sounds that are already in 5.1.

I have a 5.1 setup. I'm not sure what is chosen in game, never ran across a speaker configuration setting there. Yes I do have the matrix button pressed, I'll try it out without matrix on, thanks.

Ya looks like that was causing the problem. Works perfectly now, thanks for your help +REP.

When you plug your headphones in, it sounds as if they are going back to 2 channel with CMSS-3d. It sounds like they are in 5.1 mode and you only have 2.1 with your headphones. You need to make sure that after you plug your heaphones in, run the game, go to audio setup, and there choose headphones or 2.1 and try it again. The problem is the same as you had before, you are playing 5.1 sound but there are only two speakers (headphones) you need to change the sound output in the game's configuration to reflect the change. The CMSS-3d in the creative control panel will take the 2.1 sound and make it sound great in those headphones you just have to give them the right input.

When I plug my headphones in (to the little volume control device) it puts them into surround sound, I think, because whenever I get into a tank and look to the left I only get sound coming from the right and vice versa. Any ideas? |

I'll try that out, thanks.

Which patch? 1.51? Why wouldn't people play the game, it's pretty fun.
