You missing the reason behind True Audio You dont need surround sound headphones to benefit from the effect. Its design is to bring a virtual surround to stereo headphones.

Funny thing is id Software wont give you good directional sound in Quake Champions because they feel it'll give those the competitive edge.

I wonder if it'll get put into PUBG?
There's a plugin for the Unreal engine, but it might mean the developers doing some work.

If it does make it into PUBG while I'm still playing it, i might be tempted to swap out my 980 SLI for a Fury X (which is sitting in a cupboard).

Which makes me wonder what the point of TrueAudio is if you can do positional audio without it and not tie it in to one vendors hardware?
It's not like PUBG is super advanced and pushes the boundaries of technology is it? If they can do it...

Same as anything really. Marketing. Everything has True in it these days.

I admit, I fell for this crap.

Because we have lost great surround sound effects in games since support was dropped after Windows Vista. Tech like OpenAL offer far better surround sound to what games try to achieve today.

Here some demos Listen!

This a good showing of what we kinda have now versus what we should have

What AMD was trying to do with TrueAudio and still is is bring back true 3D audio into games. if you dont know what this means then I dont think you have truly experience what this can offer.

But I 100% agree that I wouldnt want this to be an only AMD hardware thing, for this to ever take off all hardware from both AMD and Nvidia would need to support it. And I really hope we do see something like the old school 3D audio again.

Aureal 3D was the best.

Graphics have improved over the years, Audio has sadly taken a back seat. Its quite sad really.

I've rolled back to 18.2.3, I've been playing State of Decay over the last week trying to complete all the Steam Achievements and after installing 18.3.1 yesterday the games become unplayable, It keeps freezing for a second or more every minute or so which tends to become even more frequent when I'm surrounded by a pack of Zee's, I had two characters killed because of it.
