Help. Someone - and I think it was someone on this list - gave me an openAL
.dll with a simple hack added. It checked for environment variable
ALSOFT_FORMAT being set to AL_FORMAT_51CHN16, and if it was, it let me
successfully use AL_POSITION to make sounds come from the appropriate
speakers in a 5.1 channel set up. And it worked. I don't recall why this
required a special hack, but I remember there was some reason and I think it
had to do with Vista. But with this .dll, it worked.
I don't know what changed. I'm pretty certain I didn't mess with the .dll,
and the env variable is still set, but openAL now confines itself to left
and right speakers. When I test the sound card with its control and test
app, I can still get sounds to come from each speaker in turn without
problem, so it's not the sound card, amps or speakers.
I'm running Vista, the sound card is a turtle beach audio advantage, and I'm
very frustrated. The whole application relies on software control of 5.1.
Can some help me make this work again?
