There is no truth to this at all. It’s amazing how many people believe crap just because they read it on the internet… (so it must be true, huh??)

I get true surround with mine, and as it is going through my home theater, It sounds real nice.

I’m guessing that most people with the mono problem just have their game console audio going directly to the TV, and still using the CRT style television that has what I call “pretend surround”.

Look the only thing that plays mono is what comes out of the wii mote on the Guitar it self. I have the game it plays in stereo for sure if it plays in surround sound i dont know i dont have it hooked up in my main room. But the wii mote speaker on plays mono cause there is but one speaker. That is used for the missed note or a late or early note.

Mk, my Nintendo Wii plays Guitar Hero III perfectly fine. I have surroud sound, and it’s perfectly fine. So obviously, the people sayin that it only has Mono sound are full of nice, smelly sh**. Ha. Haha. Ha ha ha. But no, really.

Look, there probably a mix of reasons for the issue.
1) A majority would have gotten a working version of the game
2) The majority of the minority that didn’t, has incorrectly set-up their AV cables
3) A minority of the minority that didn’t have gotten a defective copy of the game

You see what I’m saying? You could resurrect Einstein, put him in a video game forum for five minutes and all he’d come up with is:

E= PS3 has hardly any exclusives and a controller from 1994, same games from 1993 (that have been done better elsewhere), but has good graphics. PS3’s best game is the Transformers Blu-Ray (pretty easy, just have to press “Play” on the menu, and only 2.25 hours long, but GREAT graphics!) Yer mama squared!

weclock- true dat, something about video games forums just bring that out I guess, isn’t that like the 67th Law of Physics: All Video Game Forums Must Reduce Users to Eventually Accusing Each Other of Being Homosexual

Seriously, if you check the very last posts it’s always something like this:

USER1: Yer gay.

USER2: Yer more gay than I am. PS3 baby!

Usually try to rise above that, but was playing GHIII on Wii (in surround ) until like 6 am and am running on 2.5 hour sleep- all that rockin’ gets me fiesty.

Sorry- just thought of a better one:

Norbit- what an appropriate user name.

You’re exactly like a shiity Eddie Murphy movie!

But whereas Eddie Murphy went on to be the voice of an ass in Shrek- you’re one in real life!

Fatty!

I thought THONDOR had very valid points Norbit, I don’t see what you’re getting at…

First off William, my apologies for the nasty post- didn’t see your link and chalked this up to fanboy heresay.

I am now convinced that people are really having this problem- this has to be something with defective copies (which still makes no sense since all copies are supposed to be exact duplicates of the “gold” master copy). If this was widespread I’d assume it’d be a bigger deal as modes like “face-Off” and “Co-Op” pretty much would not be able to function in mono (or at least I’d think people would notice) as the whole point is that your instrument is coming from a different channel than your opponent so it is audible to determine who messed up a note.

I mean, this thing sold really well, has been out long enough for people to notice this stuff, and that forum has 182 posts with a lot of repeat users posting multiple times. But Activision (if you check the last page or two of postings) is apparently acknowledging this as a problem. Is the Wii demographic more prone to technical issues with their equipment? Not sure. This is really odd. I really wish more posters would state what kind of equipment they are working with.

As I stated though, I am palying GHIII on Wii in what is definitely DPLII- I even went as far as inputting to my PC and running a multiple-channel Oscilloscope program to confirm the DPLII signal.
