Always good thing to add is your sound system, so what headset/phones/speakers you use?

HOLY FREAKING SHIT when I tested this with my Logitech G930. Related to this stuff likely but it's freaking loud, thank god I wasn't wearing them on my ears http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=21268

No weird sounds with good quality headphones. BIS really need to look this stuff because many people are using headsets.

I think that if this had been an issue before, I would have noticed it. You don't forget it in a hurry.

Hey, i was unable to reproduce the issue. Could you, please provide more info? Thanks!

Happens also in helicopters.

My sound card is the Sound Blaster Omni, Headphones are Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro.
When I set the sound card to stereo in the windows control panel the distortion isn't present. But when I configure it as 5.1 the problem occurs every time.
