    I’ve had a gaming chair for a while with a built in sound system, and whenever I look a certain way in the game I can’t hear certain sounds, this hasn’t been a problem until now, where I can’t hear the AWS on the 314. I think it’s working like a surround sound system, is there an in game fix for this?

    I had an issue previously along these lines. After moving from a 5.1 surround system to a soundbar, several sounds which should come from behind were missing.

    It's in your PS4 system settings under audio. Change it to whatever setup you have and it should do the trick.

    If the chair or soundbar is only 2.1 indeed you’ll miss lots that still being sent to the other channels.

    I can’t remember where it is but it’ll be. system settings, AV options, output via HDMI or optical and then you’ll be wanting a simple stereo output.

    I typically use my headset , despite having a gaming chair with a sound system . I also notice that when you look to the left , you only hear in the left ear and vice versa for the right . Not sure if this is deliberate
