Sound Issue - Redux

[membrain]

As a Para in the back of a plane on climb out... still can hear other planes starting up their engines in the hangar... is this the bionic ear syndrome?

SB X-Fi with Open AL removed. Alchemy is not installed.

Not sure. Kinda hard to replicate. What speaker set up do you have?

X-Fi setup with headphones

[GOPHUR]

Is your X-Fi set up for stereo output to your headphones instead of surround?

How should they be setup? Surround or Stereo?

I think mine is set for 7.1 dolby.

I still can't hear Infantry in open commander position. But I can hear tank engines very far away as if they are a lot closer.

It depends on what you listen with. I have 5.1 speakers and they work well with that setting. When I switch to headphones I must select the Headphone setings in the X-Fi control panel or else there is no frontal sound unless I turn my head.

Noticed the same condition with both/either setting of Headphones or Speakers 2/2.1.

[GOPHUR]

What are the headphones? I'll order some for testing.
