Hi Ken, that's a big part of the problem though. Most VI gamers frankly don't have the right hardware/software to do 3d audio properly. I know XAudio2 is pretty good if you have a 5.1 surround sound set of headphones and/or speakers, but there we go looking at $99 or more just to obtain some hardware to reproduce the 3d audio properly. That's assuming they have a 5.1 or 7.1 sound card already.
