Audio settings: can it be any worse?

Can 2K's audio settings be any worse? We all know that there is no bouncing sound...well, there is, actually...but only on the very right side of the court. Test it in practice mode. I think the ball sound should have panning...on the right side => right speaker, on the left side => left speaker...there must be some "logic" behind all this...but 2k messed it up and it does not make any sense that you can hear this sound only on the very right side of the court.

The presentation panel is horrible, too. You cannot change the settings in-game. This is a bug.
I pause the game to adjust settings...I set everything to 0 except for PA but there is still the crowd and stuff.
This is so bad. LOL

If you change the volume in-game, it does not have an impact on the settings. If you set everything to 0 except for the PA in the main menu (not during a game), it works.

Another bug is that custom settings are sometimes set to 0 while switchting through presets in the main menu.

Weird enough, I can now hear the ball bouncing sound and the commentary doesn't shift from all speakers to the center speaker and back anymore. What I did was end the sound programs that run in the background for my soundmax audio device.

Custom settings is an actual preset that is saved when you make your own changes, so you must have set some to 0. If you are talking about something like the on the court preset, commentary is set to 0 for a reason, because you are on the court. That sucks about the in-game bug, though.
