Killzone 3 Beta Sound Issues

Anyone who may have an audio problem with their gaming headphones should read this and please speak up. Lets voice all our issues so we can have the best gaming experience before the game is released possible.

"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.

"I would like Sony/Guerrilla Games and whoever reads this...."

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.

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 Tretton]

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

[BloodyNapkin]

@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.

[2Spock]

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

[Mr Tretton]

Guerrilla won't be patching the beta any further.

[BrianC6234]

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.

[Shikoro]

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

[blipboy74]

@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?

[MiloGarret]

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.

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.

[DizzyDino]

i am in the beta and my turtle beach px21s sound incredible!!! this game is awesome. if u wanna play just add me DizzyDino

[JacobIsHollywood]

I'm half-sure we're already friends.

[Pacman321]

Couldn't agree with you more, i couldn't even play black ops after it as it seemed such a step down from KZ3. I played it at least 4 hours yesterday and i think im going to do the same today.

[JD_Shadow]

As TotalBiscuit has always said about the World of Warcraft Cataclysm beta in his videos, beta will be beta. That's WHY we have the betas (or at least that's the idea behind having betas). They want to see what things occur in real situations. Thus, these bugs will happen (and we all KNOW how buggy a WoW beta can be) and will be encountered. Thing is, no matter how silly it may sound, the only way it will get fixed is if people actually TELL them that there's an issue. They're actively looking for feedback, so if you encountered it in the beta and didn't send them a bug report about it, then don't bitch when it appears in the final game. You had your chance to say something. You can bitch if you and others report it and it STILL appears in final.

[geth1gh]

i have only used theses same exact headphones (tritton ax pros) playing the beta so far. the only problem i have had is there being no sound in the menus.

I just assumed that there was no sound for the menus.

[JUDALATION]

I bought my Tritton AX Pros for Modern warfare and was blown away.... No game has better sound than that... While Battlefield bad company sounds sweet the sound horing is terrible because everything is sooo loud. I did not think any game could come close... Until I got into the Killzone 3 beta! I dont know what you are doing wrong... Is the ax pros orange lights on while you play? is the powe on the amp on? what ever it is you really need to fix it because the sound in this game is almost as good as Modern warfare 2 and has the great sound effects of Battlefield to boot, not to mention the graphics of unchaRTED 2!

[blipboy74]

UPDATE...Problem has been fixed. I have contacted several people at and with TEAM TRITTON about the issue. Our site will be creating a video comparison between the ASTROS and TRITTONS and a video on setup of each around christmas. Thanks to all the advice here and to all the haters, thank you too. :)

I don't remember everybody's name, but big ups to deadrockoning666, dacajun, and dizzydino I suck real bad at killzone 3 and mostly play against bots. We will be running Killzone 3 game nights when the game releases and I will be sure to message you then. PEACE.
