    I recently redownloaded TSC (I used to play a lot on my older desktop), but I've noticed this weird sound glitch that I can't really describe well, particularly in the cab. Everything sounds low quality and "muddy" if that makes sense, especially cab controls, which are weirdly quiet and only seem to play on one side of my headset. My guess is that it's a compatibility issue with Windows 11, as my desktop running Windows 10 doesn't have any issues like this, while my Laptop with Windows 11 does. Any suggestions on how to rectify this are much appreciated.

    There should not be any "compatibility" issues using windows 11. I for one, as well as thousands of others are running TSC on Windows 11 machines. I would think that you have an audio driver, audio/USB plug or sound card issue. Try searching through the computer sound settings, update your audio driver and use a different output source to diagnose your problem. Are you using the same headphones on both machines? Is it only TSC that acts this way? You could try a file verify in case something became corrupted during your initial installation. Start the verification and walk away and let it finish without interruption.

    Are you sure you have the plug in correctly? Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

    Yep, same headphones. Every other game on my PC is totally fine as well, but I'll look into my drivers and/or verify TSC's files.
