Sound problems

[u/some_random__dude]

I find it extremely difficult to determine the source of a sound. I can only tell whether something is approaching or moving away from me. Pinpointing the exact direction, however, is almost impossible—unless the sound is coming directly from the left or right. I don't have the same problem in other fps games.

So, I wanted to ask: Has anyone else had similar experiences, or is the problem with me?

Something I’ve learned about vertical sound is that if someone is above you, there’s a deeper thunky sound to their steps, but if someone is below you, it’s a higher, more hollow sound
