Is it possible to get full 3D sound (i.e. vertical separation of sounds) in games?? | Razer Insider

I have Razer BlackShark V2 (wired) headphones, on Windows 10 Pro.
I’ve been using them for about a year now.

I’ve been looking for headphones which would distinguish sounds which were on different levels than I (in buildings, dungeons, etc).  I was playing another game when I got them, and it *seemed* like they were distinguishing direction on sounds that were above or below me… sort of…

Well, recently I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077, and I am often in buildings where it would *really* help if I could clearly determine if people that I’m hearing, are on the level where I am, or are above or below me… but if these headphones are doing that, it’s definitely subtle…

l Note: CP2077 has an audio setting for ‘3D Headphones’ for sound device, and I have that selected ]

So this morning I upgraded the firmware on the headphones to V0011, via the Razer updater.  I then installed the current version of Razer Synapse.  It created a THX Spatial Audio device, which I have selected for the headphones… but in CP2077, I still cannot really distinguish vertical separation…

I also noted that when I look at the Mixer page in Synapse, it actually only shows a 2D diagram for Spatial Audio Modes… so that suggests that it *does not* support 3D sound???

So is it even possible to get the effect that I’m looking for??
