I get no sound from behind me, this occurs in zdoom and its child ports (gzdoom, skulltag, zandronum).
Left and right channels work just fine but once a sound start closer to directly behind me it quickly fades to 0% volume
However in DSDA doom I can hear stuff from behind me.
I used to have a 5.1 sound setup about 4-5 years ago but I have been using headphones exclusively since.
I have tried deleting the .ini file to reset all config options but that did not fix the issue.
What additional information can I give to help solve this issue?

Re: No sound from behind
Make sure your audio device is configured for stereo or headphones in the system settings. If the device is still configured for surround sound, sounds from behind will try to use the rear/surround speakers, but if all you have connected is headphones those speakers won't be heard. Same for anything that tries to use the front-center speaker. I wager any surround sound content you try to play has the same issue (if the app isn't configured to force a stereo downmix, at least), anything that's supposed to play from the rear/surround or front-center speakers are just left silent.Evil Space Tomato wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 2:38 pm I get no sound from behind me, this occurs in zdoom and its child ports (gzdoom, skulltag, zandronum).

Re: No sound from behind
FYI, for imgur tags to work you need to link a specific image, not an album. By default imgur opens an album for you (you can easily see that by noticing there's an "/a/" in the URL). To make them work, click the "..." button at the top right of the image and click "Copy link" to get the embeddable URL:
Code: Select all
