Examples of sounds that play in left ear and not the other: Trivia music, water fountain sounds, teleport sounds, casino game noises, player voice chat.
Meanwhile other music(minigame room) and sounds(jetpack, UI sounds) play correctly using both speakers.
I’ve hardly checked all sounds, but it seems the common factor is that sounds projected from some object/location aren’t calculating their location properly for the right ear sounds, while sounds that aren’t projected from physical objects/points are played correctly.
Running on a Windows 8.1 machine using USB headphones to test. Stereo audio/Headphones confirmed to work perfectly fine using VLC.
Removed everything but the keyboard/mouse and headphones themselves with no luck. Reinstalled the USB headphone drivers as well as verifying the game files. Any other basic troubleshooting tips I’ve forgotten that might help? If you think any other specs might be relevant just ask.
I have the same bug. i have and run audio cleanly on 400 games. Most audio but not all comes from the left ear only. Head phones not broken. Audio drivers not broken. Perhaps a miss match with specific hard ware. But this is years later and im on windows 10 so Q.Q
I’ve ran into this issue as well, for me it was due to routing my audio through a ps4 controller. Plugging my headphones directly into the pc’s port fixes it, but it’s not much of a fix since their cable’s too short, hence why i was using a controller to extend their range
Final Edit: Solved it, newest device driver and windows drivers weren’t working quite right. Installed a older driver and everything in game fixed, apologies for necro’d thread.
Recently got a new DAC/AMP that does this same issues, both push about the same hardware but the difference was 16 bit 48000Hz audio from the old worked normally and the new one used 24 bit 44100Hz audio.
Other games work just fine but using the new amp caused the same issues mentioned before.
Edit: I noticed music, global music/announcements in game worlds, and ambient sounds are fine on both sides. Any directional sounds and surround sounds all get clumped into the left headphone.
Windows settings for surround are all turned off and have been, can’t seem to find any setting for it in game
Edit 2: Testing 24 bit on headphone jack compared to the behringer I’m using doesn’t cause the same problem, just very odd Tower Unite is the only game to put the surround sound audio in the L channel when other games don’t.
Will update if solved or just an issues with the audio interface or whatnot.
