Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off.

A new build of LAGonauta's fork of MetaAudio was released today. The main change is that instead of using line-of-sight for occlusion, v0.0.5 now uses a depth-based occlusion model that makes for much more realistic sounds. The transitions between occluded and non-occluded sounds are also much smoother now; moreso than any actual retail game I can think of.

Unfortunately, Cry of Fear still crashes upon startup even with the changes to the audio cache.


Settings:
Windows Control Panel: Stereo
default_fov 115.63
Sound quality: High
al_doppler "0.3" (IMPORTANT: MetaAudio has a similar exaggerated Doppler problem to Yamagi Quake II. LAGonauta recommends this setting.)
