Not sure, I understand the intent of this post, but just so you know, binaural uses stereo output, with added reverb and delays, an early and rather poor attempt at producing 3d sound using two speakers. Ambisonc, is simply an alternative method for encoding surround sound using multiple channels, and offers advantages in systems where sound comes from every direction and recreates a far more accurate soundstage, as opposed to a definitive sound stage directly in front of the listener.

However, one point for those choosing Ambisonc, it uses cpu cycles to decode without dedicated Ambisonc hardware, and will not make use of any other sound hardware for decoding, this will cause a hit to fps in systems where the cpu may be the limiting factor.

I've tried both Surround and Ambisonic (I have 5.1 speakers) and although I can hear sound from my rear speakers in both modes I hear no variation in output when turning my head in the cockpit. Does surround actually work in this game re positioning ect, or is it also broken/bugged?

Definitely works fine here.

What does 'undecoded' mean here and how it is going though my 5.1 speakers? Can Creative drivers for instance decode it correctly?

Btw do you have a sub-woofer channel output from the game in 5.1 mode or have to cut-off low frequencies from front channels?

i found something out
1. the sound settings is messed up
by choosing surround, the center speaker is not working ingame - changing to 6-channel fix this problem.

2. i changed soundmode=0 to soundmode=3 (il-2 best 3d modus)
sound is now changing when turning my head.

There seems to be a bit of a gremlin in the way the Config.ini/ memory managements works.
The Config.ini doesn't save until the sim is exited from.

Set the speaker selection, then re start the sim and the settings will take... if you just switch between speaker selection settings to test - yes, they mix up.

Similar thing happens with the Video settings
