As far as im aware 5.1 wont be available in the et port either. Could be wrong there though.

Will - what the heck is that coming out of that gun? Or do i not want to know.

I can hear people already from all directions, only using a headset...

I've got 5.1 surround and mine works fine. Well at least I think it does. Unless me and my computer have been talking telekenesis style for the last 2 years or so...

only thing i hate about the q3 sound engine is, that u cant tell if something is above/below you. all other directions work fine as already mentioned with headphones

A THX certified 7.1 system is the way to go, because with headphones you can't tell if someone is behind you or infront of you.
surround sound is pretty usefull in battlefield 1942/vietnamn, you locate snipers 10 times faster than without surround.

headphones works well as long as you don't move your head and stare into the center of your screen, but if you start moving your head around a little then that illusion is gone.

Shure there is no difference between a surround system and headphones if you keep your head still, but you don't.

it would be good if someone spent the two or so hours requierd for 5.1/7.1 to work well.

You can do emulated surround.... my SB Live and Logitech Z680's do a good job of creating a Q3/UrT surround sound experience. Minus the center channel, but who needs it.
