Team Fortress II to Support Aureal A3D 2.0

March 16, 1999: Aureal Semiconductor says Team Fortress II from Valve LLC and Sierra Studios will bring full support for Aureal A3D 2.0 positional audio with Aureal Wavetracing.

Team Fortress II to Support Aureal A3D 2.0 hits the March 1999 news desk on March 16, 1999. Aureal Semiconductor says Team Fortress II from Valve LLC and Sierra Studios will bring full support for Aureal A3D 2.0 positional audio with Aureal Wavetracing.

Team Fortress II is the much-anticipated team-based action game from the makers of the smash hit Half-Life. Aureal A3D is an award-winning audio technology that enables an immersive audio experience by surrounding the listener with sounds in all three dimensions, using ordinary headphones or two or more speakers. That is the PC hardware treadmill in full sprint: faster chips, cheaper boards, louder claims, and gamers trying to figure out what is worth the money.
