Head-related transfer function (HRTF) audio

Players don't need special hardware to use HRTF. However, the effect works much better with headphones than speakers.

This video demonstrates the effect of HRTF audio:

Note

For now, you can only use HRTF on Windows 10.

To use HRTF, first enable it globally in the Game Settings asset, then enable HRTF on the entities you want to use it with.

  • In the Solution Explorer (the bottom-left pane by default), select the Assets folder.
  • In the Asset View (the bottom pane by default), select the GameSettings asset.

  • In the Property Grid (the right-hand pane by default), under Audio settings, select HRTF support.

Audio settings

For more information about the Game Settings asset, see .

Sounds emitted from this entity will use HRTF.

Note

The HRTF option applies to every sound emitted from this audio emitter.

For more information about audio emitters, including the properties you can change, see Audio emitters.
