I can't hear the flying drones

Post by bgr » Fri Sep 07, 2012 7:43 pm

I almost can't hear the flying drones if I'm not looking directly at them, or face directly away (180 degrees) from them. Does anybody else have the same problem?

I decided to figure out why that's happening so I messed with the game source in Unity (drones don't attack because I've made them blind in the source code :mrgreen:):


At the beginning of the video until I look at the drones I almost cannot hear them, if I were in game I wouldn't notice the sound until it was too late.

I can hear the drones quite well the whole time in that video. Do you have 2 speakers turned on, and set to stereo (not mono)? I think your stereo imaging may not be working correctly, and that would be why you can't hear them at times.

Anton's right, I hear them fine too. Try inverting the vacuum in your mass relay.

Damn, that's what I thought. I have 5.1 speakers on Creative X-Fi card that I think is doing some filtering and somehow the filter makes the sound gets cancelled.
