[Question] Not hearing impact when players hit by bullet?

[Hilldog]

I'm not sure if this is a sound bug or actually realistic (never having seen anyone be shot) but I've noticed that when I am in combat and see someone get shot near me, I don't hear any sort of impact from the bullet, nor any cries of pain from the person, they simply just silently become ragdolls like they'd been hit by a tranquilizer dart.

There's no sound to indicate they've been shot, they just fall down silently.

I can't believe this is meant to be the way, so has anyone else experienced this or knows how to solve it?

Set your sound to 2.1 or headphones in Windows. You are probably set to 5.1 and using less than 6 channels, so some sounds are being played on a speaker that doesn't exist.

I thought that might be the reason, but I checked and I'm using 'stereo' instead of quadraphonic, 5.1 or 7.5.

It's gotten worse though, not only do I not hear bullet impacts or shouts from soldiers when they're hit, when I'm in a tank I can't hear anything at all!

This is really worrying...

Doing this fixed almost all of the audio problems I was having.

I suffer from the same bug, going to try the fixes right now!
