No 5.1 audio on PS3. only 2.0?

FabioRocks · ‎03-14-2010

I thought when I first got the game on my PS3, it wasawesome sounding 5.1. I justnoticed it wasnt sounding as good and only coming through in 2.0! All other games, movies from the Ps3 and the rest of my system are 5.1 and 7.1. Any ideas?

Might just be using the same sound setup as the Vita version, so no 5.1 faciliy?

I reinstalled, and it was in 5.1 audio. I installed the 1.03 update, and can only get 2.0 audio?! Any ideas?

Maybe its just some kind of bug with the newest patch then? I just got the game recently and was disappointed to hear it only in 2.0 but couldn't believe 5.1 wasn't an option...so yea, hopefully the next patch fixes it. Anyone contact them about it?

If you heard "5.1" it was only because your reciever was emulating it. Popular music is normally mixed in 2-channel stereo and this game has only supported 2 channel LPCM output since version 1.00. I recommend changing your receiver settings to stereo or a 5.1 emulation and you will hear all the bass you were missing.

No emulation and no 2.0 LPCM. My receiver is set for and detects the source codec and displays what it is. 5.1 with no emulating. The audio is higher quality, clearer, more dynamic, and not just pushing the sound through all channels. It's clearly separate channels. I put the 1.03 update, and the receiver switches to 2.0 MPCM and it sounds bland and crappy. So I re-installed and do not install the update, and the sound is outstanding!
