<div name="quoted-content">That makes sense, but let me ask a dummy question here: What happens to the EAX calls? Do they get translated to an equivalent EFX call directly or are they emulated? If so: does OALSoft use a generic room layout as specified in openal.ini or does it make some sort of educated guess?</div>
<div name="quoted-content"> </div>
<div name="quoted-content">The reason for EAX reverb support in "Generic Hardware" is that it uses Creative's OpenAL solution which comes with newdark and that newdark probably defaults to EAX first if possible.</div>

<div>
<div>grandfathered in from DirectSound to help ease early porting efforts for<br/>
apps that used DirectSound+EAX. The EFX extension is the preferred way<br/>
to use environmental audio effects with OpenAL, which is just as capable<br/>
and is supported by OpenAL Soft, Rapture3D, and the Generic<br/>
Software/Hardware devices.<br/>
<br/>
The log shows EFX is being used:<br/>
<br/>
> : Opened device 'OpenAL Soft'<br/>
> : EFX reverb support enabled<br/>
> : occlusion support enabled<br/>
<br/>
It's interesting that for "Generic Hardware" it says "EAX reverb support<br/>
enabled" even though it supports EFX too. I wonder what the difference<br/>
is for the game.</div>
