After a long hiatus, I have updated this mod again to version 1.4 with the latest DSOAL and OpenAL Soft packages....

I have updated this mod again to version 1.31a. This version is a very, very minor update that won't really be needed for v1.31 users. It's really more for QoL improvements than anything based on user feedback. I've also made a ModDB mirror for this mod for anyone who doesn't want to sign up here just to download. I highly urge all surround sound users (4 speakers or more) to upgrade to Higher Order Ambisonics and give me feedback on how it sounds.
Latest DSOAL master from October 23rd, 2018 (doesn't change anything in Fallout).

Edited alsoft.ini that should now auto-detect surround setups, as well as control EAX boost in compatible games.

It included the latest build of DSOAL which includes a number of improvements for compatibility with DirectSound3D games, though only one fix directly impacts Fallout 3 (reload sounds only playing in one ear now correctly being centered). In addition, I have included 52 different HRTF tables to make HARD MODE INSTALLATION much easier for users....

I have updated this mod again to version 1.1. It includes the latest build of DSOAL as well as some streamlined installation instructions and a reconfigured alsoft.ini that should hopefully fix the problems people were having with distorted audio and sounds randomly not playing.
Unfortunately, DSOAL is still having issues with volume rolloff in certain games that kcat is still working on. Without a logfile, it's hard to find out what's wrong at the moment. His quote:
Hmm. Well, there have been some changes since the older builds that could influence this. One is device sharing, where opening the same
device multiple times effectively uses the same underlying OpenAL
device/context. This was necessary to properly simulate hardware since
