Not how you think it might. It uses Direct Sound 3D, which really isn't even 3D.

I suspect that this aspect of the game will be updated, but it definately won't be on HTC's top priority list.

What do you mean Fruda? How is it "not really" 3D?

I've got an audigy 2 gamer, creative lab's 5.1 surround, & the creative sound station that holds the rear speakers behind my head. it's great for GV's. you can zero in on sounds very, very quickly. my only problem with it (again, in GV's) is with snap view looking around, because it's instant, the sound follows instantly. so instead of a nice fade from speaker to speaker it's literally on & off.

Steve the question about Dolby surround sound does not apply.   Dolby surround sound requires information embedded in the audio stream to position the sound.
In the DirectSound 3D API, the positioning is done before the sound is played, placing it exactly where it should be emanating from and at the proper volume.

If your speaker setup in your sound control panel can be set to a 7.1 speaker configuration, DirectSound will get the sounds to the right places.  No encoding or decoding is required.
