AeroDawn

Hi everyone.. I have been looking for a post like this but couldn't find any so my problem is: When I am playing the game, and tanks are coming my way, I can hear them coming from very, very far. I suppose that, in RL this isn't possible. I have an onboard AC97 chipset from RealTek, and have updated those drivers to the latest version. I have also updated the game. What can I do to solve this problem? (BTW: EAX: DISABLED/Hardware Acceleration: DISABLED). I cannot enable hardware acceleration.

by default, arma uses the user name to apply a nickname to the profile. Is there any way to change this? I want to play using my nickname instead of my full real name..

EDIT: found solution. Topic should be closed:}

and how much does these soundcards cost? I'd like the cheapest one with 7.1 surround, EAX-featured.. any good suggestions?

I am using the original ArmA (No mods) and I have already updated the soundcard, motherboard and OpenAL.. I can hear a helicopter silently starting his engines at 1km.. don't think this would happen in real life though. Problem not solved yet. Any ideas?
