Howdy lads,
I'm just curious which setting I should be using for my Headphones.
I have the Creative Sound Blaster X7 + Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro 250ohms and I just want the best surround experience that I can get without using the SBX Surround as it's complete useless!
I just bought Dying Light on the PC and so far the surround experience is pretty good but I'd expect a bit more :/ I had windows set to stereo and on the SBX I had surround off also.
Upon using SBX surround it barely does anything other than make things sound more echo like and doesn't widen the sound field at all...
I tried changing windows to 24/96000 5.1 and on SBX I still surround off.
Running Dying Light gave a terrible effect.. I mean the sound is great but the surround is actually lost! So that's useless
I put SBX Surround on and as usual it was useless and gained no surround at all!
I do assume that I should have windows set to stereo as that's all I need for surround sound and that indeed appears to be true but I've done plenty of research and I've found that 5.1 should be enabled in Windows and SBX should be headphones and even some say SBX surround should be on?!?!
How can this be! I've done this and it makes things sound awful! :L
ANYWAY!
To those of you who know what you're doing, Are my settings set correctly already? Is it the actual game itself that just doesn't support 5.1 surround sound?
Any advice would be lovely!
