Version 2.4.7 for DeusEX, Windows version.
Changes:
New distance model, based on AL_LINEAR_DISTANCE_CLAMPED, sanity check for number of sources (max EffectChannels) in case hardware based dll from Creative Labs is used, fix for possible compression effect if to many soundsources are playing at once with very high gain.
Added configuration parameters for:
- ViewportVolumeIntensity
- ReverbIntensity
New libxmp.dll (4.3.13 with yet again many fixes for IT, see more at http://xmp.sourceforge.net ) and OpenAL32.dll (1.17.2 http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html )
Occluded sources are now not only quiet, but also filtered for a more realistic, "muffled" effect.
Astat audio and astat detail also includes now information about the music being played.
Version 2.2 for DeusEX , Windows version.
Added Lipsynch support, auto matching of libxmp samplerate, drastical reduced the default old reverb intensity. Updated some check in libxmp 4.3.9 to re-enable support for some obscure tracker file, updated to OpenALSoft 1.17 with HRTF (new ini settings Autodetect/Enable/Disable). Autodetection may only work with USB headsets.
Lipsynch was realized with [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/kissfft/]kissfft[/url].
Version 2.1 for DeusEX , Windows version.
Added some new check for thread safety
Version 2.0 for DeusEX , Windows version.
Changes: Fix for UT savegames may be crippled and crash the game on load (not originated in ALAudio, but needed a workaround).
Version 1.9 for DeusEX , Windows version.
Changes:
Fix for bSoundAttenuate false not working.
Version 1.8 for DeusEX, Windows version. (now built with VC2013).
Changes:
Crashfix for 1 CPU affinity (forced by GOG version or manually).
Version 1.7 for DeusEX, Windows version.
Changes:
Fix to reduce CPU load to increase stability especially when running on one CPU core only. Crashfix for a "never should happen" situation.
This version also contains a new option "UseSpeechVolume", while DeusEX support this option out of the box this should be left true.
Update of libxmp to 4.3.9
Version 1.6 from for DeusEx, Windows version.
Changes:
Switched in OpenAL from FMod Music output to [url=http://xmp.sourceforge.net/]libxmp[/url].
This player is not only free and open source (GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE), but better portable and is yet actively maintained unlike most other players. It also plays some tracker files "more correctly" than old FMod3. OGG playing is now done directly via [url=http://www.vorbis.com/]ogg vorbis[/url] (BSD-License).
Added CrossFading ability in OpenAL when using MTRAN_Segue
Added ability to play sounds in OGG format (you need to rename the .ogg files to .wav to allow the import)
Changed from Creative Labs OpenAL to [url=http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html]OpenALSoft [/url] (LGPL-licensed) to eliminate problems with non Creative cards in Windows 7 and Windows8
new in 1.6:
Yet another couple of minor fixes, improvements, code cleanups.
Added usage of AL_METERS_PER_UNIT function to make effect calculations more fitting to "real world" environments (based on UU/Meter).
Updated libxmp to 4.3.8
Added support for FLAC (BSD-License) and [url=http://www.mpg123.org/]mpg123[/url] (LGPL 2.1) for sounds.
Removed ALAudio.u and replaced it with EFX.u
EFX.u is a pure UnrealScript package which does not depend on ALAudio, nor is ALAudio required for it to use. As EFX.u has the download flag set, a client can just download it for network play like any other package and if ALAudio is not used the ZoneInfo's sounds settings just simply have no effect. This change allows the mappers to make use of a huge number of environment presets (114) without taking the risk that people not using ALAudio can't play a map.
Notes for mappers:
* EFX.u packages offers a set of ready to use ZoneInfos to customize ZoneAudio settings.
* If you just custom defined ZoneAudio settings instead of using ReverbPresets consider
consulting OpenALs EffectsExtensionGuide.pdf especially in respect to default values and clamping.
Notes for mod developers:
* See EFXZoneInfo UnrealScript code for further explainations.
Don't forget to update your ini (although will now set up defaults if not existing):
[ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem]
ALDevice=DefaultDevice

SampleRate=44100Hz
SoundVolume=64
