Not really. It’s up to the software, soundcard, and/or recording.
Stereo headphones are surround. The reason laptop speakers are not is because they are in front of you. Headphones are one for each ear, separate.
Our brain is very sensitive to phase difference between sound in either ear. That is how we can tell sound direction. It’s like triangulation, except the third variable is the shape of our ears (is it comming from the front or the back, see HRTF again).
There is no such thing as surround headphones. There can not even be such a thing. All headphones are surround. It’s either sound card drivers, software in the chain, the recording itself, or just marketing. Get “normal” headphones and check out some directional audio videos on youtube.
Openal is an audio library used by some older games and they patched HRTF into it to make it sound even more surround.
Decent headphones that are comfortable are better then even more expensive full room setups, although just for one person.
Edit: Funny enough the last time I explained this was to an audio engineer. Took him a bit, but he got it when I used sharks ears as an example.
Stereo headphones are surround sound. It’s how ears work. You percieve position by how late the sound comes to one ear compared to the other. There is a bit more, but I don’t want to write on the phone more. Google HRTF for that part.
1·3 months agoI deleted it…
Because I said I hate the man-hating “feminism” that was popular a few years ago, and that I am a good person. Ofc you can’t be feminist if you dislike sexist women.
That was only like 1/3 or 1/4 of what I said and you can find it if you search for the deleted reply here, as only that part is deleted.
Edit: I restored it, you can go read and downvote now. Didn’t know you can restore.

I wrote here my honest opinion only to be mocked. Fuck you all, I’m not going to answer this online ever again.
And no, I wasn’t sexist.
“Man up” isn’t always about bottling your feeling like the US internet says. More often it’s “stop complaining and just do it”. And someone has to do “it”. And it often leads to growth.
The internet often distorts things.
As for the topic, I am a feminist. The first and second wave feminism, that is. The equality ones. Not the pink haired screaming “all men are evil and should pay” third wave. Everybody screaming “patriarchy” while sitting on their bed, not even looking further then that. Looking at everything black and white.
Actually, I’m kinder to women then men…

I’m using a ps2 keyboard because the usb one died.
They kept talking it was because address exaustion, and IANA sold all the remaining blocks they had…
I tested it at the time. Ran nmap ping scan across a block all night with zero results. IANA sold the internet
I downvoted because it is not a meme. I don’t even live in your country.
9·4 months agoUnrelated but there is microui, a 1100 loc library in ansi C for a basic UI.
I know… And I did. I mean it’s called the andrenal gland! How did they even allow it?
Or the last 200 years.
Like in the tv shows when they say “epinephrine”, and I was like wtf is that? for years.
And later on with the amazing metal called tungsten. Why have I never heard of it?
(Its andrenaline and wolfram)
I got goaded as a kid to get a cat off a tree. My uncle scolded me because you should’nt do that or the cat will never learn.
