"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

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_Mega5570d 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 Tretton5570d ago

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

BloodyNapkin5570d 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.

2Spock5570d ago

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

Mr Tretton5570d ago

Guerrilla won't be patching the beta any further.

BrianC62345570d 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.

Shikoro5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

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

blipboy745570d 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?

MiloGarret5570d ago (Edited 5570d 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.

JacobIsHollywood5570d 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.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart1d 3h ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby1d 3h ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb19811d 3h ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

gigoran88h ago

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci7h ago(Edited 6h ago)

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
