So Saber Interactive finally introduced proper HRTF to Quake Champions after the disasterous beta test and, well...

It sucks. It just sucks so much.

Like I know ioquake3 is a fan-made source port made in their free time, but wow does QC's HRTF sound horrible by comparison. It sounds like a really cheap Virtual Surround Sound software; just muffles the shit out of the sound quality with a very flat soundstage.

Quake 3 Settings:
Windows Control Panel: Stereo
(in alsoft.ini located in %APPDATA%)
channels=stereo
frequency=44100
stereo-mode=headphones
cf_level=0
sample-type=float32
periods=3
period_size=1024
default-hrtf=Built-In 44100Hz (KEMAR "average head" tables)
hrtf=true
