 1 | # UT2004-OpenAL
 2 | Instructions how to enable 3D spatial audio for 'Unreal Tournament 2004' aka UT2004 aka UT2k4.
 3 | 
 4 | Intended to be used with **headphones** (stereo). Works with any sound card.  
 5 | The difference should be clearly noticeable as sound becomes out-of-head.
 6 | 
 7 | Non-native to game solutions to create 3D spatial audio for headphones is done using only 5.1/7.1 channel output and have no elevation.
 8 | Having 3D spatial sound directly from audio engine has elevation and is more accurate.  
 9 | 
10 | Instructions and a way to find best sounding HRTF are included in 'Readme.txt' inside **UT2004-OpenAL-XXXX** [archive](https://github.com/main-exe/UT2004-OpenAL/releases).
