Sound "distant" after re-installation.
« on: December 17, 2016, 09:35:10 AM »

I re-installed the game and deleted the starsector folder from program files after it would not launch, howver after doing this now the audio always sounds "distant" and a bit echo-ey, although it has far more pronounced directional sound, I was wondering if this is a simple mistake or it there is something I have badly messed up.

Hmm. That's weird! Could you try downloading the OpenAL installer from here and running it? That should resolve it if it's somehow an issue with OpenAL (the audio library Starsector uses) on your system.

Another possibility is that your sound system decided to use some kind of preset when running Starsector; not sure where to poke around regarding that but might be worth looking into.
