Enable Hardware3d Sound

01-03-2010, 02:22 PM

Hello,

can someone help me how to enable Hardware3d sound in Darwinia? It's odd that my card, and Audigy 2, is not capable of hardware 3d sound when it worked with their later game Defcon.

I am on Windows 7.

I tried focrcing it in the prefernces.tct but to no avail. Anyone else has the same problem?

Did you set "sounds and audio devices" to 5.1 in windows control panel?

No I didn't.

If it uses a Directsound path for the hardware sound, 7 no longer has a hardware path. No dice unless they switch to OpenAL or something similar. It will work under XP.
