If you mean 3d sounds get a 3d headset, i use my phone earphones and they work good for arma, sexy 3d

I vaguely remember reading that the method is patented and the patent holder is sitting on it hoping for large royalties or something. Some sound cards do have a feature to make audio more 3-dimensional in games, the feature is called CMSS-3D in Soundblasters. Funnily enough said feature breaks the "holophonic" effect in the video.

CMSS-3D (found on the X-Fi cards) is about the best consumer grade 3d positioning system you will find. I guarantee you will not find anything better

Also the issue with holophonic is it needs to be pre-recorded, it is not done in realtime. It uses real world acoustic properties so the only way to get that in realtime with mono sounds (yes 3d game sounds are mono, and then positioned at a 3d point) is to exactly emulate those acoustic properties at all angles. Pretty much exactly what CMSS-3D already does....

Yeah, I just got a pair of Roccat Kaves (real 5.1 audio) and a Fatality x-fi and it's amazing in A2 - truly some of the best sound I've ever heard :)

Yeah, I miss my Creative soundcard. With headphones on, it could make it sound like a sound was orbiting around and above your head.

Dolby headphone that is present on xonar cards takes 5.1/7.1 and puts it through headphones. With a good set of headphones it is brilliant.

I have a stereo system hooked up to my computer... Does that count?
