Limitations for sound/music?

[unmerged(8319)]

I suppose the sound and music output is controlled by DirectX or what?

I tried playing the music files via a music player and they did well in quadrophony, but it won't use it in-game. Is there any way to do it in-game too? It would be really nice to use all 4 speakers for sounds and music.

The music in the game is played using DirectX. You could turn the music off in HOI and play it through another player like winamp instead.
