Hi!
I have a problem with 5.1 audio in Unity. It seems that on my PC it’s not working at all. I have an external firewire audio device that supports surround audio configuration and I successfully tested it in the different applications and everything works fine (movies, games or my DAW).
I’ve tried to create an empty project in Unity and I’ve set the speaker mode in the audio manager to 5.1 audio. I’ve tried to play multichannel audio files with the different preferences (as 2d or 3d sound) but none of the results gave me a correct surround signal. If I just play 5.1 audio as 2d sound all the channels play in the front speakers.
I also tried to create an empty object with an audio source. I have attached a mono looped audio files to that source and tried to fly around that object in the scene with the enabled audio preview button. I supposed that I had to receive a surround positioning but all the signals played only in the front speakers.
Any help?
Also I’d like to ask is there anybody who has successfully tested how 5.1 audio works in Unity?
