Onboard audio and surround

[Crazyman]

Is it ever gonna happen? I'd like to know.

As it is now, I can't utilize 5.1 surround sound because of my OS (Windows 7 or Vista for that matter). Is this something Frictional is working on?

Umm, sounds more like Microsoft should be working on it..................

It's been 4 years since Vista, come on! It's not like this is a new problem either, Penumbra had the same problem.

I'm not 100% sure what the exact problem is, the only thing I do know is, it's inherent to the engine both Penumbra and Amnesia use. Some say it's because of the OpenAl Hardware support, which MS dropped in Vista and Win 7.

All I want is some clarification, maybe somebody else found a fix. The suggested fix with the config file does not work for me, as I have onboard audio.
