Hi All, I just discovered Audio Royale and I've been running the trial version with WOFF PE. It's pretty awesome and really enhances the atmosphere of the game. More importantly it increases the localization effect, making it easier to figure out where other planes are when you can't actually see them, using auditory cues. I don't know whether the CFS3 engine uses plain stereo or D3D for its audio engine, but either way, this thing seems to improve the sense of positional audio. It was apparently designed for Fortnite players to better locate their opponents via virtual 7.1 rendering. Interesting business model: rent as opposed to buy. It uses CPU to do the virtualization, so maybe a small performance hit for lower powered systems, but I'm not having any issues running it via the Nvidia audio device and connecting my headphones to my display port monitor (so perhaps its actually processing on the GPU?) I've also tried it with a selection of sim racing titles and it sounds great! Anyone tried any other headphone surround products with WOFF? Cheers, H

I use the baked-in "Windows Sonic" surround sound (7.1) that comes with Win10 - checked off in the headphones tab, spatial sound, under the "sounds" control panel - works well enough I'd say with speakers attached to the headphone port on the Mac Pro. One thing I need to tinker with further is my second speaker, so that I can have nice left/right sound on the Win10 side, as I do on the Mac OS side of the computer - the tricky part on Win10 is that when two blutooth speakers are wired to the computer, at least on my end - only one is recognized as wired, and the other as blutooth only, even though it's wired too - so I have to fidget-around with wired/blutooth mixed setups in one of the third-party sound programs I'm using in Win10. Mac OS has that "Audio MIDI Setup" control panel that makes it easy to "subdue" both blutooth speakers into wired mode, simultaneously. Happy flying all, Von S
