Hi Shaun, Actually, the audio issues you are describing aren't bugs at all. That's just the way OpenAL processes audio output. As you pointed out the sounds aren't being panned but are being processed through OpenAL's 3d listener interface. Said reason I'm doing that is OpenAL does not have a simple pan control like DirectSound has and all sounds have to be processed via 3d positioning weather you want to or not. Which explains why the sounds are low. In the previous versions I could control the volume of the sounds with the DirectSound SetVolume() function. Well, with OpenAL if you use SetPosition() to control positioning it uses its own internal calculations to control the volume using 3d calculations which is overkill for this kind of game. In short, this isn't my fault, but just the way OpenAL is. As for sounds being in mono instead of stereo again this is do to OpenAL. In order to process a sound using the 3d listener interface the sound has to be in mono not stereo. If the sound is going to be a static sound, and then it can be in stereo, but those that will be processed in 3d have to be mono. So that's why that is.
