5.1 sounds and ut2004.ini

Hi!

I have soundcard which support 5.1 sounds (front left and right, middle,
read left and right and subwoofer). I think I saw early versions of UT2004'2
ut2004.ini a line where to tell how many speakers you have, and then I
changed the value from default 2 to 6. But there is no more that kind of
line and I cannot remember where to put if there are..

Now I ask is there any line to tell 5.1 sounds support? I am using Unreal
Tournament 2004 on my Windows XP (SP2/ 32bit version) and UT2004 is the
latest 3369 version. Sound card is Sound Blaster X-fi Fatality.

I'm pretty sure that UT uses your Windows speaker configuration, so if
you have your speaker configuration set to 5.1 in Control Panel then
you should be set.

Outside of that you have a few in-game settings under the "Audio" tab
that can affect the quality of sound. For the best sound, use "H/W 3D
+ EAX" and un-check "System Driver". But, that has a tendency to
break voice communications. If in-game voice comm is important to
you, then the best setting is "3D Audio" and put a check by "System
Driver".
