Weird audio problems

Eldon3379 · May 3, 2015

So here is how it started this time, I was listening to music and I heard a deep kind of bump sound of sorts and suddenly the music sounded like it was coming from above me about 20° to the left. I have no idea what caused this as I had my hands off the keyboard and mouse at the time and after a several restarts and double checking of cables the problem had not been fixed

I've had some other similar problems in the past but never have found a distinctive fix for the problem, its more like hiding them under the rug.

I did some more testing in CSGO and found that the sound was unidirectional(cardioid) and I've had going bidirectional at times in ArmA 2 a while back.

The problem is that I don't know of any options really to mess around with and see if I can fix this and I don't know if its hardware or drivers or whatever.

I have tested this on two different headsets and both have the same problem.

Also in CSGO when the sound is unidirectional it has amazing directional quality, to the point that I would describe "normal" sound I was use to as unclear and muddy. Getting that working in omnidirectional would be amazing if there is something I can I to get that

I have every once in a while when my audio completely messes up, goes static and gets louder but I can still roughly tell sounds and the only fix I have found to this is to restart the computer.

Some fixes for this stuff would be a fantastic.
