Xipe Totec	Posted - 2007.07.18 11:44:00 - [7] Wouldn't it be nice though to have surround "pewpewpew" ?

(on other note: is the new sounds engine good? i.e. causes still FPS drop?) -- V.H. "Entering MH means instant death. It's worse than 0.0.

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.07.18 12:54:00 - [9] I'd rather see proper 1.0 sound first, thank you. Meanwhile, I run with 0.0 sound. As many others here. Char creation guide \| Module/Rig stacknerfing explained
Valeo Galaem InterGalactic Corp. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.07.18 15:08:00 - [10] EVE does have 5.1 surround sound, at least it did before the audio API was updated to the slightly better version so it should still be there. You have to make sure that your sound options in Windows are set in the Control Panel for 5.1 speakers or what ever setup you have. Oh, and if you have Vista, forget about it. Microsoft removed hardware accelerated audio (and that means anything more than stereo is right out) for some unknown reason. The only way to get "surround sound" in Vista is to have either a new sound card that has hardware OpenAL support and the programs need to have built in support for OpenAL as well, or you need a AC3/DTS/<insert-pro-audio-jargon-here> home theater receiver and a program that can output the digital audio streams to the passthrough connector on the soundcard.

Red Harvest	Posted - 2007.07.18 15:22:00 - [11] Think i only used the EVE sound for 2-3 weeks, after that i got me the tool to switch the sound files but as soon as i needed TS even that has stoped.

MotherMoon Huang Yinglong Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2007.07.18 15:48:00 - [13] it is in the works. so a search for it and you will find the devblog talking about it. ----------------------------------- I'm working my way through college target CCP

Grimpak Gallente Trinity Nova KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.18 15:58:00 - [15] hmmm... I usually play with sound on (xcept when I'm in pvp ops), and I can say that I didn't notice that much of an improvement, xcept a bit better framerate. besides that EVE tries to be 5.1 oh and IBDC!

Primnproper	Posted - 2007.07.18 16:02:00 - [16] Works nicely on my 7.1, i remeber when i first got it i sat near a stargate for ages spinning the camera round as peeps jumped in... Which of course might be a bit sad...

Kalibas	Posted - 2007.07.18 16:36:00 - [18] Yes, it has 5.1. I was playing the game for the first time last night and was hearing sounds out of my rear speakers :) It's not a huge effect, so when I heard some weird sounds from my rears I thought it was something else and it kinda freaked me out!
CSFFlame GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.07.18 19:00:00 - [19] posting to say I get positional 7.1 audio (X-Fi plat). fun for hearing things behind you.
Mari Onette Amarr Gottland Production Transport Mines	Posted - 2007.07.18 19:04:00 - [20] Flip a coin. Heads say it supports 5.1 just fine Tails says it will BSOD your machine and key your car on its way out. ------ I am in blood!

Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.07.18 19:35:00 - [21] Surround sound in EVE has always worked for me... - I wish I was a three foot female doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes.
000Hunter000 Gallente Magners Marauders	Posted - 2007.07.18 20:17:00 - [22] I dunno how come so many people have trouble with sound in eve. Mebbe it's cuz i play it through a USB headset. CCP, let us pay the online shop with Direct Debit!!! Magners is now recruiting, evemail me or Dagazbo ingame.

I'm not a sound geek, but I have surround sound. Vista Home Premium, SB Audigy, 5.1 home theater speaker system that was on my previous machine. Is that your second option? It isn't 'digital output', it works the same as it did with XP. Yes, Eve doesn't have true 'surround' sound. If you hear shooting from behind you, Mr Pirate is directly behind you. Anywhere else the sound comes from in front, there's no graduated transition. --- Trikassi Enterprises, oiling the jumpgates of commerce since 2004

Didn't Creative release Alchemy(drivers for vista) recently which remedied this problem?
