reverse surround sound

bowfin · 06-30-08, 02:17 AM

Hi I really appreciate the work of the modders here... thanks for your efforts.
I have one install with TMO1.5 and PE3.3 and another install with TMO1.5, PE3.3,with uboat patch for TMO.
The problem i find with both installs is that the surround sound seems to work fine for most situations. unless i am in the control room or conning tower and a destroyer passes over head and drops DC's. I know the DD is coming from the rear, passing overhead and continuing past the bow. But the sound appears to come from the bow and pass over to the aft. The crew voice sounds are coming from the correct speakers but the sounds of the destroyers and depth charges seem to be back to front.
Has anyone noticed the same thing or is my install somhow to blame?
thnaks for your help

Welcome to subsim, bowfin

I know it's a simple answer, but perhaps you're not facing in the direction you think you are facing while in the conning tower and control room. Could be that the interior models are rotated in the wrong direction, too (pure speculation there). Did the same thing occur in the stock game? I'm guessing it would because it doesn't sound like the kind of problem that could be caused by a mod. Is the left to right exterior sound orientation as you expect it while in the interior? Is it a full moon? Have we entered the twilight zone? (don't answer that question, I know I'm there

)

hey thanks for reply... maybe i need to close my eyes and spin around three times first...for example if i am standing in the control room of typeIX uboat facing the radio room with my back to the hach labeled "aft" then am i right to assume I am facing foward? I think i am. and i know a DD is approaching from the aft because i just looked through the scope and noted 180 bearing. As i hear it pass overhead the sound appears to go from front to back instead of back to front. Also the depth charges i just outran sound like they just exploded infront of the boat... that is the sound comes from the radio room dirrection. You might ask if my speakers are around the wrong way... but the voices of the crew come through the speakers with correct orientation as i turn my view. and if i zoom around the boat in exernal view the engine noise is correctly linked to surround sound speakers. I will try reinstall unmoded 1.5 and see if it the mods ...
