Cannot hear my own spottings

raumfahrer · 2013-05-30, 03:08 PM

I'm no new player by any means, but I still think this is the right place to ask.

When someone is spotted by an enemy or ally, I hear the call out ("Enemy engineer spotted" etc.). When I myself do the spot, I don't hear anything.

I've seen some videos of people playing solo and hearing their own spots. Is there an option for this?

Hmmm... check your key bindings, you may have reassigned the "Q" key to something else. Thats what happened when I lost my spotting call.

Yea you should definitely be hearing your own.

Tried a bunch of different things now. I deleted the Input..xml files, cranked up the audio options to max, enabled ingame voice. I tried different output devices (system default and my soundcard).

Didn't help at all. I looked into the Input..Default.xml though and there is a double assignment to Q. The first is spot and the second is for the spectator mode. Cannot remove the entry cause it's a default file.

Code:

    <Action name="MoveUp" displayName="UI.Ascend" ignoreModifiers="true">
      <Trigger>Q</Trigger>
    </Action>

Got an answer over at ps2.com: https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/.../#post-1801528

Windows defaults to 7.1 speaker configuration even if you're using stereo speakers or a headset. Setting this to stereo makes it work.
