    Doom 3 audio

    I can't wait to hear this game in 5.1 with my bad sub. I understand that the audio is very impressive on this game and is an important part of the immersive experience. That's perfect since I'll be playing this game on my HTPC which is hooked into my high quality HT system.

    Has anyone had a chance to experience this game (any build) in 5.1?

    Man, I'm thinking I'm going to have to go home tonight and hookup my component cable, run my digital sound cable and move my wireless keyboard over to my HT system and play D3

    I have to convince the wife to give up the TV for a few, but I think she will be inclined. I'll tell her she gets to watch a scary movie

      Let me know what you think Dave. They say to turn up the sub a bit and knock down the bass on the fronts ... worth a try.

      Jeez ... is everyone getting illegitimate distributions of this game or is there some sort of advanced copies going out?

      I don't need to set up HT for this game but I do need to quickly finish off some important tasks because I got a feeling I'll be tied up quite up bit over the next couple days.

            What's the format of the 5.1 audio for Doom3? Is it using EAX, Dolby 5.1 or something else?

              I didn't get a chance to try it last night, maybe tonight.

                I know you've read this a million times, but...this is ONE SCARY GAME!

                OK, without getting off the subject too much, I couldn't get DD working because I didn't have it set up in windows so I didn't have that working. Also, I've never set up widescreen before so that wasn't workign either. So basically I played Doom3 on my 40" widescreen @ 1024x768 without surround sound. I might as well just played it on my normal setup. Oh well, next time I set it up out there, I'll have everything I need to get it going properly. The game is pretty damn scary though.

                  sound is creapy. its almost scarier without surround sound because you are not positive where a noise came from :P

                    I've had to turn it off for a bit ....

                    Playing at 800x600 with 2x AA

                    I get some tearing if i strafe, but other wise it looks good.
                    How do you show the frame rate?

                      I'll assume you know how to get into the console. Once there type in:

                      COM_SHOWFPS 1

                      And you will see your FPS in the upper right corner.
