Hi who ever is reading
I'm on PC and have a steelseriesartics pro wireles.
My headset has 2 special inputs that i can select, the "game" and "chat" channels.
The "game" channel is for as the name says gaming and has surround sound on.
While the "chat" is a different channel you can edit without surround sound on.
For some reason i don't hear character monologue in cutscene or in mission together with ISAC but i do have the text on so i can still see what they're saying without hearing it.
But when i change the game output to my chat channel or speakers i can hear it all again and it's pretty wierd.
Anyone who can help? because it's pretty annoying to suddenly hear ISAC and etc not again and i don't like to play without surround sound

Hey there @x_Laa_Laa_x,

Do you have the game set to Surround Sound too?

What is likely the case is that your headset doesn't support true surround sound audio.

Surround Sound relies on using multiple audio channels, which typically aren't present on headsets as they offer a Stereo setup.

Many headsets offer a virtual Surround Sound option, but as true Surround involves looking for audio channels that aren't there, using it on the wrong device can result in certain sounds cutting out.
