No sound options no surround sound?

How is that possible in 2012? How do you not have surround in a horror game?

I have a 5.1 surround system, and it sounds great to me.
sound effects and rain effects come through the back speakers, and dialogue comes through the front.

Played the game with headphones, sounded aight to me. Cept for the dialogue, not the delivery, but the audio quality.

what kind of sound system do you have?
I have a samsung 5.1 and the game sounds great. I know it doesnt say 5.1 on the back cover
but it sure sounds like 5.1 surround when I play the game

I don't know how many channels of sound Downpour runs at but I do know that quite a few 5.1 and above systems will create virtual 5.1 from a stereo source so even if it sounds like 5.1 it might not be true 5.1
My supply fell through...

I have a 5.1 samsung also all my other games sound good. I put my ear to the back speakers and hear the rain a little but I have to crank the system. Most games I play on 15-18 this one at 28 and sounds flat.

It's really weird that they wouldn't have surround sound for Downpour, considering that's part of why they rerecorded the voices for the HD Collection.

Trying to get your receiver and console properly set up can be a pain in the ass. I usually go with the PS3 because for some asinine reason the 360 can't send a 5.1 mix over the HDMI cable(!?! at least my model)

Downpour on PS3 must be using a HD audio mix because I had to switch out my optical for HDMI to get the 5.1 mix enabled. Sounded great on my system, especially the thunderclaps!

I use optical for my 360 and tv and never had a problem yet.

Yeah I noticed I couldn't get surround sound via optical on my Blu Ray HD audio channels, so I'm guessing it is the same for games
