    long time lurker first post lol i finally have AC 97 ALC650 Audio CODECs Driver working nicely, and teh Realtek app offers virtual surround, bass boost, loudness equalization, and more. windows also has its own spatial sound options 😭 for movies on studio headphones, what do you actually leave turned on? i tried them all and honestly cant decide whether they help or just make things sound different. curious what everyone else settled on. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    the real fix was the friends we made along the way

    lol same thing happened to me stack only one spatial layer. dont enable Windows spatial sound and vendor surround and the games own HRTF at the same time. hope that helps :)

    For games that have their own good 3D audio engine, adding another surround layer on top can make positioning worse. In that case, use stereo output and let teh game hadnle it.
