X-BtF - Game music is mono? Windows 8

Post by radio1one » Thu, 26. Sep 13, 13:05

Hi all,

So I saw the X Superbox on Humble Bundle the other day, and it reminded me to spin up my copy of X-BtF on Steam - which I've done.

But - correct me if I'm wrong - I remember the music being stereo - or am I just having false memories?

The effects audio is mixed to stereo - as I come near stations and the like, I can hear the effects mixing either to the left or right, but the music is always mono?

FYI, I'm running Windows 8 - and I've tried all the various combinations under the advanced audio settings.

Cheers!

I also have this problem with X3Rebirth, on Win7 64bit, where the music occasionally play in mono, even though the MP3 in the folder is stereo.

Wow you can run BtF on Win8? I always have it in widow mode with low fps, what magic did you use please??

Anyways.. Egosoft said we should disable some sound codec things at ffdshow, well I had a similiar problem (X2 and X3 music was in low quality, not sure about stereo/mono) and I didn't find such thing to be installed in my computer. After desperately trying to fix it for weeks I've decided to install the thing and enable the audio codecs for X games, well whoala it works normally now -perhaps could also help you?
