this is the part which Psychoacoustics explain, the problem is following: See, we firstly need to establish what STEREOPHONIC reproduction means in practice.Yes, obviously we all know it stands for 2-channel audio, just as we were told about it.And from this it would be logical to conclude that stereo-Loudspeakers function same as stereo-Headphones.BUT!!Not really. The op is vaguely confusing 3d reproduction with binaural or in plebeic language, natural sound reception/reproduction.This is what happens when you give someone to read something he doesen`t understand. I dont`t normally involve myself in threads like these as theres plenty of other expert turdnuggets floating around these places that seem to know their shit better than the rest.But since I see friend of mine showing interest for this, I feel the need and obligation to clarify few things here in the first place, because this specific op tends to provide incorrect suggestions and comments as he usually does.Īs I was unfamiliar with this narcy-farcy expression, I actually followed the wiki link to check out what the talk is all about.Disappointingly, but expectedly aswell I didn`t discover anything new, It was just a waste of time as usual.įirstly, the audio branch that is researching these problems is called Psychoacoustics.Its a science about natural perception of the sound, researching and solving problems that occure in nature.It is not related to electrical part of audio, it is just a knowledge of acoustics in space.Why am I talking about this shit in the first place!?!?More about that in further lines. His laptop (win7) only has an onboard audio and I already had soft_openal working, so it was just easier to test things there, and let's not forget that not everybody has a sound card with CMSS-3D capabilities. I was adding this to some games for the kid to give him a better experience (games he plays like tf2 or Minecraft, etc.), and that made me wonder how this would work in my fav game (note: the change in said games are much bigger and more apparent btw). Sorry, I don't know much about the latency.

The result is very random, I was only able to make it work at 44.1 KHz, and even on that one, it was a ”lotto" with each try. The required files are in the archives I linked in the YT description and there is also a readme there telling you where to put them (please note that the 64bit dll is also called openal32.dll for some strange reason).Īfter using openal once, you will have a config file in your user folder (.alsoftrc on linux or alsoft.ini on windows) where you need to enable it (hrtf = true).
