Hello,
I play FPS games, my favorites are battle royal style. After not playing in the last couple of months, I have now returned to daily gaming. I have the latest evga nu drivers, but the positional sounds feel weird and off. I have to make an effort to figured were the gunshots come from, and if the gunshot is strait forward it becomes blurred with the back, I have to turn my head to understand. I reinstalled everything and is the same. I started to blame the game audio. Today I plugged my old sennheiser gsx1000 just to experience the difference, and the positional sound was great, I could pinpoint everything no matter how far or close. The sound needs more volume, but the gaming experience is much better, in this conditions the evga don’t have a chance.

Does anybody have this bad experience in pinpointing sounds?

Its the “standard“ model. Everything is off, master volume is on 95% and the headphones volume is on 40%. I leave everything on default, the sample rate is 32bit on default and I have lower it to 24bit but the problem remains.
its like the sound stage became very small with no sense of distance, when I first got the card I dont remember being this bad, I ditch the gsx1000 for it but Im glad I did not sell it.
Can it be a driver issue?  

Everything is off in window. I uninstalled every audio driver with DDU and then uninstalled everything evga nu with revo uninstaller, change slots, installed everything from scratch. And still no perfect accuracy on sound, I have an idea where the sounds are coming from but I have to make an effort to pinpoint them. Where when the gsx1000 they are just natural and there is no doubt where they are coming from

The game is PUBG. I have Nahimic to start with windows, is there that I control the volume. Windows Sonic and Atmos are off.
 
I never experienced reversed left or right sounds, I have tested the right and left channel in windows sound configuration and they work ok.
What I do experience in game is the straight front and straight back sounds are equal, you have to turn player head to know. And there is no deep in sounds, no visual image. You have an idea where the sound is coming from but you don’t know for sure. All of this don’t happen with the gsx1000. I can trie with the onboard sound too, just to see what happens 

Just uninstall everything with revo uninstaller and reinstalled without Nahimic and it just fixed the positional audio. Now it works how is supposed to.
The audio utility starts with windows (where the volume can be controlled) and it says Nahimic, so what is the difference not installing Nahimic?

Thank you very much
