Dynamic auditory cues can override clear visual evidence of source location

Evidence

Interestingly, the fact that the speech is not in stereo is not noticeable because the visual cue dominates so that we hear the sound coming from the person speaking on the screen even if their sound is coming from a different direction. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 2217

A person was talking in front of me at a distance of about one metre. When I rotated my head with the pseudophone in action, the auditory object jumped immediately to behind me. Although the talking mouth of the person was clearly visible in front, the auditory object remained behind. The dynamic cues thus overrode the visual cues in this case. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 1460
