No i use Logitech Z506 surround sound for my PC/PS3 they are both connected to my tv so my tv is my PC monitor as well gaming screen.
We are hearing different sounds.I am so confused let me figure out what your trying to say and i'll edit and get back to ya
Edit : Nope, i just can't get my head around what your trying to say, with all due respect i really don't understand?
What i am trying to say is that Me and You hear two completely different sounds when we play GT5.
Not to my knowledge. It's just a very high quality product as far as sound goes.
It DOES influence the note of the engine, it makes it a lot closer to the real life sample, i can't say it any other way .
)* in real life. Both will get the job done, but it is a completely different experience.
That's exactly the point. The YT video has all sounds meshed together; intake, exhaust, engine. That's exactly what's happening with GT5 when it's putting the sound out without surround sound.
Nearly checkmate but i think i have one move left..
Oh yeah i see where your coming from mate, but you're forgetting the one critical factor from those youtube video's, they are a real recording of the actual car accelerating. So you don't infact get all the sounds meshed together you just hear whatever the dominate sound is at the time ( i think ).
With GT5 every sound is artificial whilst accelerating so to be able to hear the piece you wanna hear sometimes can be hard (without surround). 1 example is not being able to hear the exhaust or engine note properly because it's trying to be portrayed at the same time as the whining tranny etc..
A good example is drive the car in cockpit view, then press "look back" and keep driving and listen to how different it is, you will hear the exhaust note that i'm hearing through surround sound ( well as close to without a subwoofer ).
When you change your view in car you get a sound more focused on the rear of the car and vice-versa.
Try it out

Yup, and that mesh would then be compared to the YT video. That should indicate how close the two actually are. The basic idea is to see whether a mesh created from GT5's surround sound differs from the mesh the game makes itself when using the TV's speakers (which I'm, by now, genuinly interested in, not just to prove a point
).Personally, I have the feeling that the start-up noises have been recorded, while the stuff we're hearing while racing is just a synthesised sound.

I think it might be feasible that such a manual mesh would sound different from the one the game created automatically.
but perhaps tomorrow i might do even just for my own self interest aswell as yours.
No need to do so, it's a need thinking exercise (and it's nice to get away from the usual kind discussion are being held around here), but you don't need to provide an audio file or anythingIt's 2.13am here with everyone asleep so maybe not the best time to record GT5's surround sound

That's probably the best inidication of the quality of GT5's sound for most of the cars. The start up seems quite close to what you'd expect from the real car (given the same means of sound depiction for both the real footage and GT5), but it's completely different from what you're hearing ingame.
If only PD could create that kind of sound while driving the car... Eargasm!
This is what PD usually gets wrong with the engine sound, the tone of the engine is completely wrong, although the sound itself might be "good" on it's own.
Yup... I usually switch my cars by using the triangle-dropdown menu... But some sound so delicious, I just have to to do bring them up completely to hear them start up
Yup, there is. Took me a while to find out, too

It allows for various actions to be taken, such as entering that car, entering the car's setup screen, setting it as a favourite and so on.
Since it bypasses the whole animated representation, it's noticibly faster than hitting (X) when the car is selected
I know that there's a thread on the wrst car sounds, though this one is reserved for cars which have engines sounding nothing like their cylinder numbers(Mods can move this or lock if they feel this thread is unnecessary)
- Enzo Ferrari- Sounds like a V8, when it should be a V12
- Ferrari 599 GTB- Same as the Enzo
- Formula GT- It's a V12 spinning at 18500rpm, should sound like one.
- GT by Citroen road car- The car has a V8 in real life, yet it sounds like a V10
- Corvette C6 RM- Generic engine sound from GT3, similar to a V6
Any others?
I don't think that a car with a V8 engine sound from a YT video would sound like a V6 from it's cockpit IRL
The Rfactor mod sounds like proper 6-cylinder engine.

You're welcome 👍
A few (improved) tooltips here and there would've helped to prevent a lot of confusion, I guess.
There's a lot of stuff that's easy to miss, but it's kinda cool to play Sherlock Holmes to discover the depths of GT5
