Roger all of that, I take it most of you are listening to in game sfx and radio comms through the headsets?

I was thinking surround sound speakers for sfx and head set for comms, tho this will maybe cause feedback for my fellow pals tuned to comms....

:roll:


Yes that would cause a lot of feedback haha plus surround speakers would have no affect with ArmA. ArmA 2 (and ArmA 3 if I'm not mistaken) only output sound in stereo. Also, if you had a headset on your head wouldn't drown out the sound from your speakers? :P

Yeah thats stereo - you can still hear the direction that something is coming from, its just won't be as accurate as true surround sound (e.g Dolby 5.1). My point was that the virtual surround with the Corsairs would have no affect since it works by down-mixing real 5.1 output (non-existant in ArmA) into stereo output.


@Rmac - stop making up such nonsense. Everyone knows girlfriends are just a myth.

tbh you're going to annoy your girlfriend when you're shouting ENEMY NORTH EAST, 200 METERS! REPEAT LAST OVER! OMG YOU NOOB!

Also the really famous one you have to explain is that 'Roger' is not a person.

Lies, lies, lies.

You will, if you're playing a correctly recorded recording through earphones. Which Arma doesn't do, of course, it's limited by its sound engine that's why 5.1 will give you a better impression.



I think you're getting confused with binaural sound recordings.

Games use sound engines that emit sound in 3D space - recordings having nothing to do with it (since they're individual sounds - e.g. gunshots, voices, explosions etc.). Why do you think they make true 5.1 headphones (e.g. Razer Chimaera)?

and that limits the game, which cannot reach a binaural recording's level.


Then why mention it? lol
