    I recently got an M17X-R2 and I can't seem to get 3D audio to work in games like BF Bad Co 2. I've had a -R1 for a while and I got it to work by changing the default audio device from "Speakers/Headphones" to "Independent RTC headphones". This enables me to tell if someone is coming from right or left.

    On the -R2 it lists the "Independent RTC Headphones" as the default communications device and won't let me change it. The "Speakers/Headphones" device doesn't distinguish left/right.

    Any ideas?
