DirectSound in 3-D

DirectSound enables an application to change the apparent position and orientation of a sound source or listener, and also to suggest the relative velocity of the source and listener by using Doppler shift.

The following topics cover some general aspects of 3-D sound:

• Integration with Direct3D
• Mono and Stereo Sources
• Perception of Sound Positions
