In the latest patch support for Windows spatial audio was added. Unfortunately this means you are forced to use it. Normaly more support is better but in this case it ruins the game experience. I use Windows spatial audio for other games and it works great but for Overwatch it’s terrible. Please can we have a way to turn it off via in game so I can use spatial audio for other things but NOT for Overwatch. Please fix
THIS^^
I logged on today and my game sounds HORRIBLE. I can hear some things crystal clear and then rein was able to walk up behind me.
This still doesn’t help those who have headsets with built in soundcards. I have a g633 and I prefer to use the atmos in there versus the one built in game. So what you’re saying is, in order for me to get rid of the 40% performance drop, I have to use surround that’s built in? I could care less about everything this patch brought besides the doom/brig nerfs.
That doesn’t work for headphones.
All you have for options in there are these:
- Off
- Windows Sonic For Headphones
- Dolby Atmos For Headphones
Hope this gets fixed soon.
