| related to | 0003221 | confirmed | TDM only supports 2 or 5.1 channel audio | 
| 
	After a fresh update from 2.05, where EFX was set to OFF, I am not having any problem with surround sound.  Will try enabling EFX and see what happens. | 
|
| 
	It would be great to see console log on startup and cfg-file (for 2.06 beta which does not use 5.1 system properly). If you test in 2.05, you can try enabling OpenAL with CVars s_useOpenAL and s_libOpenAL (better restart TDM after change). Although 2.05 uses system OpenAL, while 2.06 uses embedded OpenAL Soft.  | 
|
| 
	Ok, even more ideas: 1. If you set two environment variables: set ALSOFT_LOGLEVEL=3 set ALSOFT_LOGFILE=openallog.txt Then you could post here the internal log of OpenAL soft (it should be in openallog.txt). Most likely it would be useful =) 2. You can try to set 5.1 configuration in OpenAL configuration file. Copy contents of default config file from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kcat/openal-soft/master/alsoftrc.sample into %AppData%\alsoft.ini. Now find the following line in it: #channels = Replace it with (note the removed sharp): channels = surround51 Run TDM, set 5.1 configuration and see if it helps. P.S. Just remember to roll back these changes after the experiments to avoid surprises in future!  | 
|
| 
	I can't seem to reproduce the problem using the beta version of 2.06.  Surround sound is working properly, even when I turn EFX on.  Unless someone else reports problems, I'm going to assume it's something wrong with my developer build. |
