<div>I am trying to get Open ALSoft to work in System Shock 2 (newdark patch enabling Open AL support) and so far everything is working except EAX. When switching between Open AL and Open AL Soft I noticed that the latter does not seem to detect EAX properly. This is probably a system-wide problem but I could not get openal-infoXX.exe to output the info for Open AL Soft, only Open AL.</div>
