Directional Sound Completely Messed Up Xbox Series X

Since downloading the 6.6.2 patch the other day, the game's audio is completely out of whack. I use the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless headphones with Dolby Atmos using the Performance Mode's directional sound on an Xbox Series X. It always worked flawlessly before. Now, you can't tell where generator, fellow survivor, or killer sounds are coming from. It always sounds more like things are coming from the left even if the source of said sound is to the right. I even tried turning off the Performance Mode to use the other modes in the Dolby Access app but the results were the same. I believe it might have something to do with them changing the 3D screams. Please fix this.

    I just wanted to follow up. I have discovered that if you set the headphones mode to Windows Sonic for Headphones in the Xbox Series X's system settings, the game's audio plays correctly. Previously, you could use Dolby Atmos without any issue. The 6.6.2 patch has screwed this up.

    This issue has been resolved. It turns out it was not a fault on the games part. It was an Xbox issue that they have since corrected with a system update. It is strange, though, because it started after downloading 6.6.2 & I didn't have any issues with Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0's sound using Dolby Atmos. Now, if only the 4K flickering would get fixed in DBD. That has went on for far too long.
