When I am playing the game, if it is one on one for instance, and I am on the
complete opposite side of the map as the other player, and the other player
dodges, i can hear him as if he is right next to me.
If he fires a weapon, pops a shock combo, the sound placement of those things is
correct, i can hear them, but they are very very faint depending on his distance.
But when it comes to dodging and double jumping, no matter how far the other
player is from me, i can hear them as if they are right next to me. This is a
huge disadvantage, and a huge annoyance in a 5v5 map because i hear a dodge or
double jump every second and it is really distracting.
This occurs with alsa installed for my sound card. So here are my specifications:

Same problem here
I've got a nforce 2 asus a7n8x deluxe mobo. I'm not using the onboard soundcard
but an audigy2. The problem is the same with the onboard soundcard though.
.openalrc:
(define devices '(alsa))
(define alsa-out-device "hw:0,0")
(define speaker-num 2)
I tried with alsa driver in kernel and in module, I tried with emerged alsa-
driver aswell. I tried with aoss ut2004 too, and it was the same.
I've been noticing something similar in the SAS mod - the other players' sounds
don't seem to be properly placed in the world which means I'm always being
startled by sounds which don't have a nearby enemy attached...
Cheap and dirty mobo via82xx sound system running on ALSA.
