Can I get banned for having 7.1d Audio?

I recently got a new headset that has 7.1 directional audio and I'm scared I can get banned for using it. I've been accused of hacking multiple times when, in reality, I can hear survivors crying in almost perfect direction. I've caught two survivors who've hidden in the basement in separate matches and both have accused me of hacking when in reality I can hear their crying through the floor and locker. My volume is up really high and I really don't want to get banned for hacking because I'm not, I just have a really nice headset.

This is something I'm genuinely worried about because I'm scared the matches or clips taken from the game may seem like I'm hacking when I'm not. So is it possible for me to get banned for having the 7.1d function on? Should I turn it off? It gives me a slight advantage, I admit, but it's amazing and I really don't want to give that up.

    I do not believe so, killers get accused of hacking a lot when listening to sounds you should be fine, and if you do get banned you should be able to appeal it.
