Ok Jay, I got my attenuation problem fixed (attenuation was set way too low, 140dB is darn loud). Now I have another question. We've been having sound spacialization issues with our vehicles. They're space vehicles so we got the whole 6 degrees of freedom thing going. The sound spatialization seems to really get out of wack when you roll the craft though. Say I have a firing sound playing straight ahead, if I roll continuously, the sound travels around in a circle. Something similar happens when the pitch goes beyond 90 degrees up or down. If I stay within "player limits" for yaw and pitch and keep my roll at 0, everything works fine. Beyond that, its anybody's guess where the sound is coming from. When I'm upside down in a roll... the sound seems to be completely inverted (sound on the left coming from right channel). Is there some SDK function I can modify to change this behavior or its an engine limitation? My guess would be that its using the forward vector to find pitch and yaw but forgets about roll (which would invert the channels for correctness).
