Getting directional sound to work?

[Statik]

Hey all,

 

I have Sennheiser HD598s, and haven't had issues with them for the years since I bought them. I just plugged them into my setup for the first time in  ~7 months, and have Stereo selected, but I can't get directional sound to work (E.G. when I play a sound in the left speaker, it comes though both equally). Any ideas getting this to work? I dont know what the issue is

Have you tried checking if it's not program's fault? Or did you try playing a directional sound from site like YouTube/etc.?

I've tried both sounds on youtube, and in apps. It doens't seem to be set right when I click to play left ear, versus right ear/both.

Do you use a program that alters sound to make it more surround for example for games?

I figured it out...

 

My headphones were only plugged in 95%. I'm officially an idiot.

I mean depends on the game, and I just got back to using it after being gone for a while. So all I've played is Escape from Tarkov, and I usually get around 90-100fps on 3440x1440p.
