So my sound card supports 7.1, and all speakers output the correct sounds in both the driver software and windows sound configuration screen, but I pop in 5.1 content in VLC and WMC and everything still outputs as Stereo. I'm fairly sure that Sharknado supports Dolby Digital 5.1 as it says it on the back side of the CD case. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro, but I'm not sure what other things could be causing this.

None.

Your video player set to 5.1 playback?

Does your soundcard menu have a speaker test? Does that work correctly?

Yes, all media players are set to 5.1 playback. Both the sound card sound check and the Windows sound check output the sounds in their correct locations.

None.

Depending on the player, you may need to check settings for individual decoders as well.

None.

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff

With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]

Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
