Guitar Hero III on Wii doesn't support surround sound, nor stereo as advertised on the game box -- publisher not talking.
As we first reported in our review last week, Guitar Hero III for Wii suffers from mono-only audio output, with exception to certain menu items and crowd noises being in stereo. Sound emits from multiple speakers, but it comes from a single monaural source.
On Oct. 28, a post on the official Guitar Hero forums revealed the problem may only be with surround sound to which Activision said the issue could be temporally solved by switching to "stereo" output in the Wii settings menu. It was later confirmed that audio was in fact mono-only.
"We are still looking into issue," an Activision representative told us on Monday, providing no further details on when or how a fix would be distributed.
