"Improved spatial audio for 5.1 and 7.1 setups" Is broken after the major Fieldwork Update

I can confirm this is true, if you are looking at the jukebox or any other source of sound you hardly hear it, or only in 1 ear, when you turn around it plays in both ears and very loud.

Was just coming to the forums to post about this.

The front and back audio input for the engineer seems to be flipped.

So if something loud is behind me (grinder, refinery, assembler) it is extremely loud but if I turn and face it, it muffles as if I am facing away. The sound if correctly mapped, so will follow my 'head' movements but it's just as if my ears face backwards.

Hello Engineers,

Sound Configuration

• Default audio output device selected in Windows (found under Control Panel > Sound > Playback tab)
• Speaker configuration: Stereo, 5.1 Surround, or 7.1 Surround (found in Speaker Setup)

In-Game Context

• What were you doing in-game when the issue occurred? (e.g., inside a ship, flying, listening to the jukebox, etc.)
• Did the issue start after a specific update? If so, which one?

Required

• Log files from the game session where the issue occurred
  To access your log files, type %appdata% into your Windows search bar to open the hidden Roaming folder. Then navigate to:
