[1748] Directional audio broken
Laku
Apparent sound direction is completely off. Example: someone speaking on the left side of me sounds like they are behind me. I thought something was broken in the world but I found out it was the steam audio beta. Changed off the open-beta and people sounded normal again with sounds coming from the direction they should be coming from.

Steam Audio does not read your device configuration other than checking for Mono or Stereo output. The rest is identical to live. Could it be that in the "bad" configuration, your headphones show up as "Mono" to applications?

_tau_ Thanks for the reply. I don't know what's real anymore. I could swear there was a difference but after more time I can't say I trust my previous words any longer. I just did more testing and it really seems like I was hallucinating the difference. Maybe I'm getting used to the new sound? I suppose I will refrain from making any more hasty comments but my initial reaction to it was that it sounded so obviously broken (different?) that I couldn't help it.
