I couldn't agree more. I am sure you are aware of this, but Sound and Audio are of high importance and could make or break a real gaming experience. So far (maybe because it is still alpha) the audio & sound-effects are not rich in colour.

The sound engine and features are quite linear and 'bland' at most times. Like the author said, there are no differences in audio quality and richness when characters are in different environments and surroundings.

Hope this could be fixed because it would create such an immerse experience to an already impressive gaming display.

Especially when you are lying wounded. Maybe screaming out "Medic" when severely injured every once in a while

Similarly, this happened to me too lastnight when I was trying on my new gaming headset. Sometimes you want to switch to main speakers and so as I pull out the headset USB, the game sound stops entirely.

you're like "Okay...." and so you plug it back in. Sound is still not recognized and you have to restart whole game.

Like the author noted, interchangeable devices should be allowed because you don't always want to stick to one source for 3-5 hrs.

Many will be playing with decent headsets (for the microphone and chat commands), so good sound support is needed here. Most virtual 7.1s could play 5.1 so hope BI could implement surround sound options in the audio options.

I have a razor megalodon but the 7.1 virtual surround is useless in arma due to the sound engine. Stereo is the only support.

Sound is key. Please support surround
