[Trumpet Player]

Hello!

Advancing the old topic ( http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum...-W7-via-OpenAL ) about "broken" sound in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Multiple speakers, surround positioning, reveberation, all of these work.

There are two solutions attached - OpenAL and FMOD. Reverberation support has been added.

You can find detailed instructions inside archives. In short, unpack the archive into Miles (for FMOD you should copy fmodex.dll into Gothic's "system" too), in the game choose "DirectSound HW" or "EAX2", restart the game, check that selection is right, and enjoy.

For OpenAL it's better to tune it in the OS first. If you're unaware of that procedure, possibly FMOD is better for you.

Did anybody test those patches? (I do not possess a souround sound system )

Who is the author of the software? (Trumpet Player?) Under which CopyRight is it released? (free?)

Further more: should those patches made available in the download sections Gothic/Sonstiges and Gothic II/Sonstiges?

I tried this patch and it's basically working: I can select EAX and I get the effects/reverb in the game.
But it seems not to work perfectly. For example: The waterfalls sound are kind of tinny and sometimes the waterfall sound disappears completely.

So I prefer to stay with the "DirectSound3D HW" provider which you can use when you install the SystemPack for Gothic 1/2.
Surround-Sound works perfectly with this, only the EAX effects are missing.
