HRTF (Head Related Transfer Functions) refers to the way that the curvature of one's ears are used to localize sound in 3D space.

This mod uses algorithms that can simulate this action, allowing for full 3D surround sound with just a normal pair of earphones or headphones.

The resulting audio is referred to as binaural.

This has been uploaded before, but it hasn't been updated with the latest version of HRTF which:
  • Restored support for Doppler effect
  • Fixed spatialized sounds being too loud
  • Fixed stereo sources being too quiet
  • Fixed volume curve calculation for some sources (was inverse square law, but must be just inverse)
  • Added missing reverb factor calculation
  • Implemented different ways of transport of spatial data from X3DAudio to XAudio
  • Implemented a new way of transport which simply uses result from the last call to X3DAudio

This new version works perfectly now for Skyrim SE, plus has about 30% performance increase.

Two channels (stereo) are sufficient for this mod to work.
