Assuming it's relevant and usable.
And I mean that more in the sense of the technology.
I'm sure we might get another option or two for dynamic range or adaptive mixing on the new console as a result, something like that.

I imagine that the Gen IV Sound engine will make great use of the much more vast RAM capabilities of the PS4. This will most likely play nicely into their hands.

I mentioned the headphones in the OP because I've used my surround system for all gaming for the past few years but recently had to switch to headphones because my Dad is here recovering from back surgery and I don't want to disturb him. I wasn't prepared for the switch so I have an older pair of headphones and I'm not used to listening to the sound through them and so I wouldn't notice any differences positive or negative because I've only listened to the game through my surround since GT5.

Well I just happen to have a clear indicator. I have the sub on my hometheater set as "auto', so it turns on when there's a signal.playing GT6 it now won't even turn on. And I drove with C7 and SRT viper, so there should be plenty of bass. Not even crashing a wall will turn the sub on. Something horribly wrong eighter in the samples or in the audio output/mix of the game. Sound might be a bit more clear now, but more low frequencies - no.
Just for a reference. Unsurprisingly the sub won't hesitate when I start Forza 4.. (yes - I still experimenting on the dark side
)

I suggest you check your in-game settings.
the sound tweak may have reset your default back to TV (2ch stereo output)
HT systems switch them ON when the incoming signal to the amp has an LFE channel or appropriate content (amp/ source dependent)
otherwise the sub would be switching constantly..

I know that sound is louder because my music in background is very quiet and I didn't change sound volume in options... Mu setting is same as before update... Music in race 100, engine sound and game effect on 65...

The balance in sound is different despite not having altered any settings.

I believe the hands and the wheel itself can be toggled on or off in Assetto Corsa so you aren't stuck with one single option like in GT...FYI. I toggle both of them off and the position of my wheel takes the place of the wheel on the screen. And the sound in GT is not anywhere close to Assetto Corsa....just sayin'.In 2014 we have a game that don't have modelated hands and sound is similar. So i prefer GT where my driver have hands.And this post don't have nothing with GT sound change.

Neither does this jab (which isn't really helping). You're also saying that about a PC sim, which has adjustability a console sim does not.
Now can we please drop this and get back on topic? I don't mean to be a mini-mod but we get enough of these already as it is.

Is it just me, or does it sound A LOT like the Formula Gran Turismo?
Anyway, back on topic, I experienced the sound bug on SSR7 last night, couldn't hear the engine, tires, or wind noise, but I could hear the exhaust backfire and it sounds real nice. I could also hear the horn and all the other cars around me.

I'm pretty sure this is what they're doing for GT6 and not much more. (additional tweaks should be expected, but nothing of more magnitude than this.) They want to improve GT6 sounds with what they already have, without replacing and reworking everything from the ground up. That will be done by the engineers they are currently seeking for their open positions
I believe that they made these specific changes, as noted in my first post, because of a letter I happened to know the right channels to go through to get it to someone at SONY. I let them know there was a missed opportunity here to make people more happy, without waiting until GT7 for a big "sound update". Because the changes they've apparently made are so close to what I suggested, and the timing is correct, I think I can personally take some credit for it. Not that it matters... (the guy I passed my comments to had previously met Kaz a few times and sent me a signed picture of Mr. Yamauchi a few years back...)

You have something wrong with your equipment then... most subs have a standby feature (that's what it's called) and mine turns on just fine. Always has.

GT6 has neat little feature in sound options that shows you exactly what is being out put to your sound system, so if it's set to give you 5.1 or 7. sound then you will get your sub. Thing is if the sub works with Forza and not GT6 then you need to check your overall system sound output and ensure that you are sampling at the correct rate 48kHz is usually perfect LCPCM direct to your system out of your PS3. You should have the usual suspects of greyed out settings that are on no matter what then you add the ones that your system supports and you want DD, DTS or simply just go with LCPCM 5.1 48kHz or 7.1 at 48kHz only select higher if your sound system supports it PS3 does the does the decoding I believe internally. If the sub works using any other kind of input then your setup on your PS3 is probably the cause, but even then you should still get bass through regular speakers. Also if your PS3 setting aren't setup manually is it set to output stereo sound and you can change the sound fields manually which should activate the sub. So I think your output set up is the reason your sub isn't activating.
