Just wondering when we might be getting 5.1 surround sound in this game.
Unless it is actually in and just not working for me?

I wanner hear Mechs stomping up from behind and missile and ballistics shooting past my ears.
Would be very nice if this was introduced in the near future...

The game relies on the sound/speaker profile you are using for your sound card. Outside of that, it's not doing anything special otherwise.

Meaning...???

5.1 works fine for my other games that use it. Is there something in a .cfg or .ini file I have to adjust?

I seem to remember someone telling me that this game is in mono right now..

5.1 would be nice, but stereo would be a good start if that's the case!

If you configured Windows to say you had a 5.1 Speaker Profile, then MWO "will attempt" to use said profile.

Not the best source, but the link will show you how to configure your sound card in Windows for 5.1 (whether it outputs 5.1 correctly/properly is another matter):

I don't know, ask/find someone that knows more. I don't think there has been a focus on the audio portion in this game.
