AA Support / Re: Sound issues with windows 10

They say that sound has never been the same in AA after Windows XP.
But I really don't know, to be honest.
I believe the reason Spanky answered the way he did is because there are just so many people who wish to gain an advantage over others with sound. A good example would be some of the people we've banned (fairly) recently.
This game's sound has previously been exploited so many times.
The US Army wanted to create this game as close to reality as possible, so I doubt they meant for you to be able to hear the enemy from spawn to spawn (as was possible on Windows XP + X-Fi cards on Urban Assault, I know from experience). I mean you don't hear your neighbour across the street open his fridge, do you?
I don't know what exactly changed in later versions of windows (and I've actually even seen people doubt whether anything did), but supposodly there was even a "fix" for this that I read about. You can try and google it if you wish.
And another note I'd like to add is that X-Fi years ago and a fairly good sound card now are 2 quite different things. X-Fi (and its software) was built to manipulate (and in all honesty, distort) the sound so it would be easier to hear things. Nowadays, as far as I know, sound cards are made to best represent the sound intended instead of the former.
