Onboard audio and surround - Crazyman - 09-11-2010 Is it ever gonna happen? I'd like to know. As it is now, I can't utilize 5.1 surround sound because of my OS (Windows 7 or Vista for that matter). Is this something Frictional is working on? RE: Onboard audio and surround - Zanderat - 09-12-2010 (09-11-2010, 09:02 PM)Crazyman Wrote: Is it ever gonna happen? I'd like to know. Umm, sounds more like Microsoft should be working on it.................. RE: Onboard audio and surround - Tanshaydar - 09-12-2010 I'm sure that there was some topics that explains how to utilize 5.1 for Amnesia.

It's not like this is a new problem either, Penumbra had the same problem.(09-11-2010, 09:02 PM)Crazyman Wrote: Is it ever gonna happen? I'd like to know. I'm not 100% sure what the exact problem is, the only thing I do know is, it's inherent to the engine both Penumbra and Amnesia use. Some say it's because of the OpenAl Hardware support, which MS dropped in Vista and Win 7. All I want is some clarification, maybe somebody else found a fix. The suggested fix with the config file does not work for me, as I have onboard audio. RE: Onboard audio and surround - MonkEsquire - 09-12-2010 I have windows vista 32bit and a SoundBlaster Auidigy SE. I heard that creative cards just can't use OpenAL at all. Is it true? ![]() RE: Onboard audio and surround - Zanderat - 09-12-2010 Not true or not specific to CL. If the issue is Open AL, use the Creative ALchemy program. It restores the hardware support that Windows 7 dropped. I am having no sound issues with my Creative X-fi Xtreme Music in Windows 7 and am using Alchemy. Running full hardware support with 128 streams: Quote:Initializing Sound Module RE: Onboard audio and surround - MonkEsquire - 09-12-2010 Huh I forgot all about the ALchemy program, i'll try it out! RE: Onboard audio and surround - Zanderat - 09-12-2010 I run it for all my games, regardless. Can't hurt anything and I have not once had a sound issue with W7. |
