I just upgraded from GZDOOM 3.4.1 to GZDOOM 3.5.1, and for some reason, no matter what I do, all sounds are played in Mono. Music is fine and dandy, but ALL the sounds are in mono. I've messed with pretty much every sound option available, from sample rate to OpenAL resampler, and everything is still in mono. I'm quite frustrated with this, since some higher quality stereo gun sounds like those from Brutal Doom and such either play exactly in front of me, or completely to the left or right.
I don't know exactly what I can do to fix it, but I wasn't having this problem in GZDoom 3.4.1.

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

What happens when you copy GZDoom 3.4.1's .dll's over?
Re: Muffled/Compressed Sound in GZDooM 3.5.1
Fixed! That did it. The sound works fine now. I just copied over the OpenAL.ddl from the 3.4.1 zip file, overwrote the existing OpenAL.ddl, and voila! Thanks a bunch.
Re: Muffled/Compressed Sound in GZDooM 3.5.1
Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit?
The reason I ask is because I am the one who prepared the 32-bit archive, and am interested in knowing if I did so incorrectly. (I think I used Graf's 3.5.0 as a base)

3.4.1 was actually the one with the wrong dll, i guess he has installed to the same folder.
Re: Muffled/Compressed Sound in GZDooM 3.5.1
On the fresh install of GZDoom 3.6.0 sound is still muffled/compressed. On the older versions (before 3.4, separate folders) sound is fine.
