[Openal] games affecting openal playback ?

[Armand Postma]

Hey Ralf,

I'm not 100% sure but what you describe sounds like it could have 
something to do with EAX... As far as I know
EAX usually affects the environment which means all the sounds coming 
from the soundcard will be affected by this.

I'm not sure if you can do something about this... I guess you can force 
EAX to switch to your settings again but the game
you'll be running will most likely call EAX environment settings more 
than once...

It shouldn't be a problem usually since in general you will only run one 
game at a time. :)

Sincerely,

Armand Postma
