Hi,
I was looking up the features of TS5 and couldn’t find the option to enable 3D positional audio, which is the main reason why I am using TS5 instead of Discord (since the latter is much more convenient to use). Did I miss something or are there no plans to integrate something like this in the new version? Thanks!
Is there 3D Immersive User Positioning in TeamSpeak 6
because I couldn’t find it
No that feature is currently exclusively available in TS3. I am not sure right now if it will ever be implemented as I have never used it myself and many people we’re never aware of the existence of this feature. Meaning it is a niche feature.
If you’re interested in that you can use it with the TS3 client on the same servers as you are using with TS6.
TS3 had a addon called CrossTalk that allowed for positional audio. It was pretty much mandatory to have for MMO FPS games like Planetside 2 where you have a team of 700+ players all working together in voice.
What would happen if people talked over each other the addon would pan their voices to different parts of surround sound so it was easier and clearer to hear multiple people talking and sharing information.
I think it’s worth having on TS6 especially since there are rumors of multiple MMO FPS games in the works. I know If I had positional audio right now, I would be using it in Star Citizen where we have multiple capital ships crewed with players running around fighting against other groups of capital ships.

Thanks for the response. I think that this is rather an issue of marketing. Most people are just used to a soundwall, like in Discord, but almost everyone I invited to TS3 for 3D positional sound strongly agreed that it was much better when having several people and longer sessions. Also, looking at what Meta is trying to do, you cannot have an immerse 3D world in VR without 3D positional sound. That is, I am making a case that this is the future and it’s a pity that you are abandonging this feature.
Honestly I wouldn’t believe in this, like… First it seems this is outdated…
