Title: No 3D sound while using 3D sound
Post by: Fool Running on October 16, 2005, 17:29:01

I was able to get 3D sound working using OpenAL, but if I want to play a sound that isn't 3D (like a click for a menu item) it wants to put that sound in relative 3D space to my listener. Is there a way to tell OpenAL not to calculate a particular source for 3D?
The only way I can see to do it so far is to set my listener location, listener orentation, and sound pos to (0, 0, 0) for the non-3D sounds and the correct values for the 3D sounds. That seems like alot of extra OpenAL calls (although I could re-write my sound engine to sort the 3D/non-3D sounds). Any help would be great. :wink:

Actually that's exactly how you do it.
Or use stereo sound.
