Surround sound?

[Spekkio]

Umm, i noticed something while playing the other day; The position of the sound is relative to the position the reticle is facing.

For example if I look north, footsteps and everything will come out of the front speakers, if I look west (to the left) then sound will only come out of the speakers on the right, and so on.

Now that I have noticed it, it won't stop bugging me. Sorry if this has been covered before.

I havent noticed that... but I have noticed that sounds far away... like if I put a crossbow bolt into a shield at a distance... the THUNK will appear as if it was right beside me..... yet the other sounds are far away.

Its hard to pinpoint or test, but I have a feeling the sounds are backwards... or some mixture of messed up... I swear sometimes the are louder in my rear speakers then the front

The THUNK sound was being played at the location of the shooter instead of the location of the shield owner. Thanks for the tip

So has no one else had this problem with positional sound?

I'll try it on my brother's computer to see if it is just me, or infact something with the game.

Yeah, sometimes I've noticed horses running on my left will be heard from the right, things like that. The game seems very quiet overall as well.
