Question / Help In-Game Sound Reversal

Randomly while playing in game my sound is reversing. I don't believe it to be anything to do with my settings but if there is anything in particular that would cause this could someone people give me some insight? I'm at a loss for words, I cannot understand why it would do this. I am playing CS GO, works fine for a bit and then boom, i'm hearing shots and footsteps that are in front of me but they sound like they are behind me, or people running to my left but it sounds like it coming from the right. No indication or warning it's going to do it, just randomly happens. The only way to fix it is to reconnect my headset but then it'll do it again a round or two later. Never happens unless OBS is open and streaming.

Anyone know why this might be happening? Thanks.

Sound: Corsair Vengeance 1500
Operating System: Windows 7 64Bit


Edit: If I go into the sound panel, through control panel and go to the properties of my Corsair Headset, literally just open it and click ok it goes back to normal until I start playing again and after a few minutes it flips again. Seriously getting so irritated.

This definitely sounds like some sort of weird driver bug. These gaming headsets that have their own drivers and everything are prone to weird things like this. It's not the first time I've heard of this happening in Source games, either, and we've never really been able to figure out why it was happening.

The only thing I can maybe think to suggest is to try disabling any sort of virtual surround sound mode, or other "enhancements" that might be enabled.

Ok so I disabled the Dolby Digital and I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. So whatever the driver was being used through the program for Home Theater was interfering with the program for streaming.

I really hate to do this because it sounds like you are searching for issues, but necroing an old thread probably not the best thing do to. aside from that, this was extremely loosely related to OBS.

You could try windows playback devices for the properties of your sound card and under enhancements, disable stuff. TBH, this changes with every soundcard/headset software

@dping i appreciate the reply. I understand that there are a disgusting amount of variables but him and I have the same headset, up to date drivers, and never experienced issue without OBS. I bet disabling Dolby will do the trick i just didnt know if that is a software specific to our headset or is it something all windows computers run. (im not super super tech savy but if that makes sense)
