This is probably what helped for you. From what the audio experts picked apart earlier in this thread and others, it seems as if the new sound engine is built entirely around surround sound (because of that stupid third party audio plugin). Which means that anyone running in stereo because they're using stereo speakers or a headset or something other than surround sound speakers gets the bug full blast. All because SE coded the sound engine to *only* do surround spatial audio.
