Can vouch for that, I have pair of Barefoot monitors (insanely expensive), as well as a pair of Sennheiser HD600, and I never ever heard a game in either.Just something to keep in mind with headphones and speakers.
They all will have different frequency outputs therefore sounding different.
Generally, why many developers have that "SOUND MENU" so the user can adjust to their needs as @TsukaYuriko "Hinted".
Here is a a quick hypothetical scenario:
Speakers:
1. I Don't have "surround sound" or any other speaker device other then my laptop speakers. Don't use very low ( "B" five string and sub bass ) and high sounds ( Screeching or squealing sounds).
2. I Don't play games on my phone so don't use "loopy" or "annoying sounds".
3. I have the best system in the world....bring it on perfect sound mix.
Headphones:
1. I have a $5.00 pair. A whole lot of treble and bass sounds muffled and loud .
2. A $12.00 pair. A bit muffled , but treble and bass same levels.
3. A $60.00 pair. A slight more "Bassy" but clean.
4. A German Studio $300.00+ pair ( NOT TOUCHED BY ANYONE ELSE ).
Can you guess which one I plug into my computer?
Me neither as it changes.
ugh... does anyone else get the vibe that he wants to force users to wear headphones so he can play loud and obnoxious things through it?lol.
I have my reasons.... It really matters to me and I can't rely upon the user's answer.
Does anyone? ~shrug~ Maybe.ugh... does anyone else get the vibe that he wants to force users to wear headphones so he can play loud and obnoxious things through it?
Only reason I mention itIf that was the intention, there are a couple of simple but effective ways to ensure players are wearing headphones from a game design perspective rather than a technical one. But we'd first need to know what the intent here is before we fire off random suggestions that may or may not even be relevant into the void.
I've got speakers plugged into jack. What's fun, I also have external monitor connected by HDMI, and that monitor have output jack, which I've connected to same speaker using front AUX jack input, so that's 2 jack input cables at same time. What's even more fun, I'm sometimes connecting headphones to those speakers, as they also have jack for output Jack-combo.something is plugged into the audio jack
