Question / Help Streaming with 7.1 Sound - Sounds weird

[Trexx_T]

Hey, my name is Trexx_T. Im 23 years old and from germany.
I want to start streaming a little bit. And i think at the moment everything is working.

BUT i have a Logitech G930 headset with 7.1 soundsystem and I noticed it already at Shadowplay.
My sound is very weird. 7.1 or Stereo while watching my stream - It makes no big difference.
I can turn 7.1 off on my headset. But its very ugly to play games in stereo :D
Hope you can help me and get a setting that let it work normaly. :)

Thanks and greetings
Trexx_T
(Sorry for bad englisch. Hope its good enough)

In obs did you try down mixing to mono? Do a test recoding and see what it sounds like, maybe disabling 7.1 when you listen back so you know what most of your viewers are hearing.

I tried, but there is no difference. My settings on "Stereo" so in my opinion it should work.

I show my Sound-Settings here. Maybe it is a help for all of you. And if it is - So it is help for me :)

7.1 headsets don't do true surround. You can't use surround on the headset while streaming if you want the sound quality to match up.

I had the same problem and solved it with this. Hope this helps anyone who find this thread just like I did when I was searching for a solution.

Output audio to multiple devices in Windows 10

Earlier with the help of stereo mix option it was possible to output the audio to different devices. However the stereo mix option is removed now. Is there any other way to send audio output to 2
