Sound mode in Sorround, i want in Stereo please

★ Novice

Hello guys, My Apex Legends game sound is Locked in  " Windows Audio configuration _____    7.1 Surround " and i cant change, game experience is very bad like that, i barely cant hear footsteps behind me or even shoots , i have to look in the direction of the " action " so i can hear properly  " the sounds beeing created in that fight/actions / speeches from the chars.

How can i change to Stereo ? i checked in Windows and its on Stereo, and to play other games is all fine, just in Apex Legends is locked that way .

Many Thanks in advance !!

Hey @DoxPT you should be able to fix this by opening your APEX Legends config file which you can find here: C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\settings.cfg

 

Once opened you need to scroll down till  you find the line "sound_num_speakers" and make sure that this is says for stereo.


Let me know if this makes a difference for you.

Hi, thanks for the help but i did what you sayd and yeah , it was in " 2 ".  I dont know how what to do, all good in others games, and it was all good before, but after some "update" it stayed like this i think !

Great to hear that you got it sorted @DoxPT and sorry for not seeing it sooner. 

 

Changing the config file should have the same effect as editing launcher settings but it's sorted now so that's all that matters.
