a bit of a noob question on 3d sound

OK I am almost embarresed to ask this but 3d sound option checked = surround sound for those that have it?? Cos I only ever use a headset (due to political reasons of my missus screaming at me when i play at night if I don't) so for me so far I seem to have better sound when 3d sound is unchecked :S

3D sound would mean positional sound cues, not just surround sound. And it acutally should work best when using head phones. So yes, i'd say keep it checked. It probably uses direct Sound and direct3d sound.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.
