"I would like Sony/Guerrilla Games and whoever reads this aware that if you use gaming headphones for audio you won’t receive any sound. I can only speak for the lack of sound when it comes to the TRITTON headset I am using and I’m not sure of other gaming headphones have this problem, but I receive audio perfectly from all my other games, and killzone 3 sounds fine through my TV."

I had a 3 hour Killzone 3 gaming session today with my AXPROS. It works fine. Its a problem with YOUR headset bro. Maybe you need to make an adjustment to your sound settings. About a year ago, I had to change my settings to 44MHZ(something like this) to hear music while I'm on the Internet Browser. Maybe this is the problem.

Or maybe its your receiver. On mine, I don't press the Dolby button.

As long as it isn't in the final then i don't care.

wtf? just go to beta forums and leave feedback, goddammit, SOny/Guerilla wont be reading you f______ blog

DaCajun4921d ago (Edited 4921d ago )

I have had the tritton ax pros for over 2 years since they first came out and before that crappy Madcatz bought them out and the biggest issue with the headphones is the lack of instruction for setting them up correctly and the average person will screw it up and think the headphones are shit because they don't know any better.

With certain games you can not have every audio format selected for these headphones to work. The first bad company was the same way. Because if you put out multiple signals to it and one that it doesn't understand, it will not register anything. Go to the audio formats and uncheck DTS 5.1 ch and it will work because that is usually the one that is the problem just like it did with KZ2 and R2. If you do like dead suggested you will not have dolby 5.1 sound, just uncheck DTS 5.1 ch only and the rest checked and it will work.

The easiest way to avoid this is if your LCD/plasma your PS3 is hooked to has a optical output on it, so just plug the headset into that. You will never have an audio compatible problem again and you don't have to keep switching your optical cable from component to component that you want to use your headset on, i.e. PS3, Xbox360, DVD player because if it is connect to your TV it will output and sound going to that LCD and it will still be in Dolby 5.1.

Very well written and I will try your advice. I was suprised when I talked with PR about the MadCatz thing, but its part of MadCatz new image.

Oh, and this to the haters. The Pres. CEO of Tritton gave me a pair for FREE 3 years ago while our website attended CES. Thank you TEAM TRITTON.

All you fuckin haters with nothing constuctive to say don't even know what the fuck your talking about or who your talking to. Get from behind the computer screen and off the forums and go to an event.

Thanks once again Cajun and whoever left any constructive advice. I will try later. I don't have time for you haters.

Neko_Mega4921d ago

Or he doesn't know how to work his headset.

I don't see a big deal anyways, its a freaking beta.

"I can only speak for the lack of sound when it comes to the TRITTON headset I am using and I’m not sure of other gaming headphones have this problem, but I receive audio perfectly from all my other games, and killzone 3 sounds fine through my TV."

He hasn't tried it with any other headset and says "that if you use gaming headphones for audio you won’t receive any sound". He should probably test out others before generalizing the problem, when it might just be his headset.

Off topic, anyone else prefer surround sound over a headset? :P

Mr Tretton4921d ago

Yeah, when I got surround sound I kissed headphones (for gaming) goodbye

BloodyNapkin4921d ago

@Mr Tretton

Well maybe you should not knock a good set of headphones until you try them. I play in my theater room with a 106 screen and i have a pretty good setup for audio, denon and b&w speakers. That still does not compare to my headset. Since using my headset i can not play any other way for multiplayer FPS, it improves your game 2 fold.

2Spock4921d ago

Yeah, when I got astro's headset I kissed surrond sound (for gaming) goodbye.

Mr Tretton4921d ago

Guerrilla won't be patching the beta any further.

BrianC62344921d ago

You better get someone to fix a bug in the beta. How dare you try to put out a beta with a bug in it.

Shikoro4921d ago (Edited 4921d ago )

Put /s in the end, otherwise people will take your comment very seriously...

blipboy744921d ago

@deadreckoning, Neko, rdgneoz and to all other commenters. I know how to work my headphones, its not my unit, but I'll try your suggestion. If you read the entire news blip, the sound is fantastic with all my other games. The audio works fine on the music I have stored on my PS3 too. The problem isn't generalized its specific.

If any other gamer has a similar problem with a different type of gaming headphones they use, they need to comment to inform Sony and Guerrilla about the issue so they can patch the game before release.

I have surround sound, but prefer the sound out of my TRITTON surround sound headphones. How does one know, who I suppose is not in the industry what Sony, Microsoft, Guerrilla, or any developer for that matter will or won't do?

The whole point is to care now so there won't be any major issues in the final release of the game. That is why they have betas, to run tests on various issues.

I see one person in the beta, is everyone here who commented in or just have something stupid to say?

MiloGarret4921d ago (Edited 4921d ago )

You don't understand this site at all, do you?

Concerning your problem---> seems like a post on some forum would have sufficed, rather than creating a "news" article titled KILLZONE 3 BETA SOUND ISSUES, PLEASE VISIT MY SITE I'M FUCKING BEGGING YOU.

Btw, just to be slightly productive, I've had zero problems with my cheapass Sony headphones.

JacobIsHollywood4921d ago

Blipboy

Sorry for these tools. While I haven't had any problems with my official Sony Bluetooth headset, I'm glad you're speaking up about your problem. I'm sure Guerrilla wants your feedback, so please contact them about the issue, if you have not.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 17h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 7h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere22h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow8h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX1d 19h ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney3h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody1d 19h ago (Edited 1d 19h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 18h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 17h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 16h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 1h ago
fsfsxii1d 3h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 2h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
