Battlefield 3 Audio Settings

[ChrisUlrich]

X-Fi Fatality and Logitech Z5500s... I can't get 5.1 to work! Not sure which settings I need to have setup!

Have to ask the obvious question, but do you have the audio ingame set to 1.5?

If you have Windows set correctly to 5.1, BF5 should use those settings automatically. Have you set up 5.1 with Windows yet?

Yep. I made sure I did after I posted. hahahaha

But I don't see a 5.1 option in BF3. Just some "speaker" settings. I had it set to a few things. But now it's "home cinema."

I think it should be under something like Windows default so something like that. I am in Linux right now or I would check for you.

EDIT: Nevermind I decided I wanted to game for a bit. My audio is set to hi-fi and the hi definition stereo is enabled.

So keep it on hi-fi? Ok, i'll put it back to that.

What about my Logitech Settings? I only hear audio through 6 Channel Direct.

Ok I looked back through my settings and it looks like I was not getting it right either. I have it working now so here is what I did.

I found that thread and downloaded that utility. I checked 5.1 and left hi-hi enabled.

 

[ChrisUlrich]

There is a 5.1 option in this update? I don't see any of that in the notes he posted?

The utility in the first post has an option for 5.1.
