Surround 5.1, HT OMEGA Striker

[Macil]

Hi,

I can't get the surround sound to work in Amnesia.

I have an HT OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 (in 6 channel/5.1 mode). Surround works in other games -- the ones in most recent memory are Borderlands and Team Fortress 2.

Initializing Sound Module

Initializing OpenAL
Available OpenAL devices:
0. Generic Software on Speakers (HTO STRIKER 7.1)(OpenAL default)
1. Generic Software on Speakers (PlayOn Virtual Audio Device)
2. Generic Software on Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (High Definition Audio Device)
3. Generic Software on Digital Output (HTO STRIKER 7.1)
Trying to open device 'Generic Software on Speakers (HTO STRIKER 7.1)'... Success!
Number of mono sources: 32
Streaming setup: 4 Buffers x 262144 bytes each
--------------------------------------------------------

I've installed the OpenAL drivers linked in the sticky thread and I'm using the latest drivers supplied by HT OMEGA. I have no programs running in the background that would interfere. I'm out of ideas.

Is there anything else I can do, or will the game not recognize the STRIKER?

Thanks.

(edit: also on Windows 7 64, so no hardware acceleration.)

I fear you're out of luck seeing as it probably doesn't have hardware acceleration, be that due to Win 7 or your card not supporting it.

You're in the same boat as people with onboard audio now. I really do hope they at least ponder about fixing it ...
