hi Charles, I don't think so. I just listened to Shaun's MOTA recording and it sounds just fine to me. I think the problem is I'm use to the way OpenAL positions sounds, so it doesn't sound weird to me, but for you guys hearing it fir the first time it comes as a bit of a shock. I'm going to try a couple of Phil's suggestions, but honestly I don't know that it will sound exactly the same as DirectX. So before we begin discussing new hardware and that sort of thing let's tinker some more with the beta and see what's what. It may be you guys will just have to accept the way sounds are positioned and live with the way it is. I don't plan to go back to DirectX for any amount of money so let's try and make do with what we have.
