x3daudio1_7_hrtf VS PBOManager

https://github.com/kosumosu/x3daudio1_7_hrtf i used to use this with skyrim. a few audio mods are incompatible and make some sounds louder than they should be. but over all it's pretty great, i could pinpoint shoot enemies with a bow (no magnetic arrows) in tall grass, just by hearing them. most surround sound headphones do nothing more than this, just on a driver based level. VR games have 3D audio from the get go.

https://github.com/kosumosu/x3daudio1_7_hrtf is hella nice in Skyrim, but you can't use it in multiplayer games because the vast majority use EasyAntiCheat or BattleEye. The sounds in Squad are good, but their placement and lack of any filter for front/back or high/low is really apparent coming from other games.

I honestly prefer X3daudio hrtf by kosumosu, the sound clarity is better and I think it has different quality to rear sounds than to the front but eh, it could be placebo, or heck, the recent sound engine changes could've broken it. It'd be easy to do a comparison video without the server queues I guess. It's been featured on the main subreddit before.

For me, X3DAudio HRTF. Being able to actually hear things behind you is amazing.

It won't fix high/low I've been suggesting something like https://github.com/kosumosu/x3daudio1_7_hrtf for a while. Hesuvi is essentially the same thing as DTS Headphone X, Dolby Atmos, etc. Just has a lot more choices for what filter you want.

This is the latest updated version from the same author. It is linked from the Github page of the old version; both pages are owned by the same author. This is safe and I have used it.

So you will definitely need a thing called pbo manager so you can pack and unpack pbos

PBO Manager has its own official gitHub page
