GTA 4 and Modern Warfare 2 Sound issues- Windows 7: Wierd Center Speaker sound
Hi all,
My first post but desperate! Normally solve all my own pc problems but this one takes the cake. I have recently upgraded to Win 7 and all my drivers updated etc for my creative x-fi extreme music sound card. Also before i explain my problem please note all my other games and movies play 5.1 surround sound correctly. Only these 2 games give issues and i am sure GTA 4 sound worked properly on my previous vista installed (MW2 is a new installation so got nothing to compare it to).
My issues are with the centre speaker. In GTA 4 it is completely silent (tested by putting my ear right to it) except for when Nico talks to other characters and on his cellphone. That is very strange... i am sure that GTA4 had full 5.1 sound in vista with ambient sounds and sound effects like shooting etc. coming out of front speaker . All other speakers work perfectly with sounds coming from the rear and side etc but front speaker seems to be not included.
Also COD:MW2 ... seems to be similar except it has ambient effects BUT NO talking/shooting/other sound effects whatsoever coming out of it. The only talking that comes out of it seems to be radio chatter when your fellow comrades call you on the radio.
As said my 5.1 is working properly as i have tested each speaker in control panel and each speaker plays the tone correctly and also other games like resident evil 5 and 5.1 movies all work properly
Please can someone with windows 7 please play GTA4 and MW2 and stick their ear to the speaker and tell me if they have the same wierd not true 5.1 sound coming out of it?
My specs are:
Intel quad core 3ghz
4gb ddr3 ram
gtx 280
creative x-fi extreme music
velociraptor 150gb hdd
windows 7 64 BIT
HELP PLEASE SOMEONE>>>> VERY FRUSTRATED
