Better 3d sound localization in stereo/headphones.

Thanks for the ideas. Still a bit sad and surprised that sound is a bit of a weak spot of unreal engine.

Unreal Engine 3 now integrates Wwise into its development pipeline, which is a very powerful audio middleware program. Unfortunately, this does not seem to carry over to UDK.

Any idea why it will not be included with the UDK?

My guess would be that it's a licensing issue with AudioKinetic (developer of Wwise). It would be great if they could work something out like they did with speedtree though.

It would be nice if Epic would do something about the sound part of udk.

I think they might've been thinking that's what they were doing when they "upgraded" to Xaudio or whatever it is now.. but I think the problem is deeper than that.

They may still be in the process of integrating XAudio - they don't support all channel setups yet, after all.

I don't know about stereo audio, but my concerns with 5.1/7.1 go back through the entire history of the engine.
