5.1 channel Audio - Unable to initialize (darkplaces-sdl.exe)

Ah ok, thanks david, and no problem DeadTenor, glad to help.

It was pissing me off so much because I knew I had positional audio somehow! lol! enjoy fellas :-) Now I can finally get back into the game again.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH pissfist it... I had this same issue myself and managed to figure it out myself independently. I'm not kidding.
I too was pissed off by DarkPlaces not recognizing my 5.1 audio through DirectSound/OpenAL and stumbled on to the 'snd_spatialization_prologic' workaround myself all months before I ever got started on QuakeOne.com forums less than a week ago (at time of writing).
Sorry I wasn't able to help you folks when I could have at least done more to participate in discussion.
Back then I felt like I'd have a hard time believing I wasn't the only one, now, I can't believe I felt like I must be the only one...
