This worked for me:- Win 10 - bottom R/H corner right click on speaker icon - click on "Open sound settings" On sound output- click "Device Properties" under Spatial Sound - select "windows Sonic for Headphones" This worked for me on video playback.
hey thanks man, his video wouldnt work for me because the config was greyed out and besides that, it was already on stereo, but what you did worked for me
I found a fix for windows 11, I was playing apex legends and monster hunter world then couldn’t hear the dialogue voices ,I tried these tips and didn’t work. And here’s how it worked again: Go to settings>sound>(in the advanced section)more sound settings>select your playback device(speakers or headphone)> properties>spatial sound>(the option was preselected as off) change it to windows sonic for headphones> apply That’s how it fixed for me....hope it helps
hi @@justlucky4935 don't know if it's too late, but i had the same problem and solved it changing from 5.1 speakers to cuadraphonic in my realtek audio console. Feel free to ask if you still have the issue
a life saver, this method worked for Just Cause 4 as of today.Rico's and others speech were not audible although other sounds are ok, and changing 7.1 shit to stere fixed the issue.thanks man.
OMG! Thank you so much! I literally searched everywhere, even senseless Steam forums and tried to apply many fixes. Then I did this while my Shadow of the Tob Raider game was still open, and aleluyah! New sub, this miracle fix took like seconds!
Bro, thank you so much. This is such an old video but it still fixed my problem with modern warfare. I couldn't understand how nobody else had the problem.
Thank you very much. That little piece of information worked perfectly. For ages now I have tried different video players thinking it was the fault of the player, never knowing it was the settings in my 5.1 system.
Got new headphones and had this issue with skyrim, fallout 4 and divinity original sin2 and most noteably: dark souls 3 was almost unplayable. This simple video fixed everything, thank you so much
Didn't work on mine (Windows 11). After configuring speakers, Stereo is the only option, no 5.1 or 7.1 surround. I selected Stereo and restarted the game. Still didn't work. Do you have any advice sir?
Wow... I knew it! there is just a need to tweak somethin on my sound settings, I just don't know where exactly to go. I'm playing Batman Arkham and there is some dialogues of the characters that I can't hear and applying your tips it worked! Thanks for this video Dude!
since i just fixed my audio issues with wolfenstein: the old blood, this is what helped: go to sounds->playback, select your device->properties->advanced my format was set to "16bit, 44100hz" for some reason, changing it to "24bit 48000bit" not only fixed my sound issues with wolfenstein, but also noteably increased overall audio quality :D good luck!
Great idea thanks, will give this a shot. I found my old Windows Vista Home Premium HP PC and the Sims 1 PC disk! The install worked perfectly! But then when I played, only the music in the game works, you can't hear the sims talk or any sound fx. Will give this a try thanks again.
omg thanks so much for the had been googling and found a bunch of useless forums and hours later found your video man you saved the day! I wanted to come back and replay the game and found i couldnt hear the dialogue and i just couldnt play the game like that so thank you!!!!!!
This works, but it's hardly a fix, as the games have the surround sound option, this completely eliminates surround sound within the game... *Edit - I found out, that my system was set to "3D" in "Stereo" an option on the console itself, bypassing surround sound entirely. Switching that off, surround sound now works, and I get voices back in games :).
Control panel, hardware & sound, manage audio devices, right click on speakers, properties, enhancements, un-check voice cancellation. No idea why this setting is default on in 5.1 mode but this is fix for no voice, voice only coming from sides. Your welcome ;)
thnx alot, man. guys if you have razer headphones then you can just go to razer synapse and then go to mixer and change the settings of the game to stereo (while the game is open). that way you can have 7.1 surround when your not playing.
I have a different audio issue, voices sound good, also movement effects; but the ambient sounds and hits do not sound. I tried to do what you said but it does not work, what can I do?
Thank you random tech guy from 5 years ago. OMG really bro thank you, side note (try disabling other speakers that your not using and only enable the ones that you are using, may help you, may not, works for me though)
Um Hi I have a problem in episode 4 part 2 fury then silence when Mackenzie and franklin conversation when I reach the option donner franklin stops talking and then nothing happens I can move but stay in place each time I reset the save it's still the same even shutdown my laptop and it's still the same.
i play far cry primal and there's no sound in it i cant hear the animals sound or anything else i do what u said but it didn't work so what should i do then pls help
Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but in Assassin's Creed Unity the voices of the characters sound very dull in cutscene's or in buildings, while in game the voices are normal. Has anyone a solution?
If nothing works activate GPU scaling in the graphics card control panel. Works if you pass sound with HDMI, at least in kotor 1&2. Make sure to set sound quality to 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD quality) in windows sound setup.
Thank you! Problem fixed! I got a new speaker set up and knew that it was something that I had changed thinking it would improve audio, and I just didn't know which particular setting was the issue. Now I can hear my character without having to drag the camera to the left or right. It makes sense now that I think about it 🤔 but anyway, Thanks again! ☺
Hey my arctis 7 pro can't be configured in playback devices but I can configure it in steelseries engine however there is no option for solely stereo, I am tech illiterate and don't know how to achieve this.
