Is there any possible way to run DTS sound effect for headphones in linux?

    Enhancing already existing audio is not cheating. Similarly, using better headphones or a bigger monitor is also not cheating. HRTF in games will give you better information than these programs can. They cannot magically make new information. On the other hand, HRTF in games that support it uses math so that you can hear things above and below you and more accurately place steps.

    HRTF will do a lot more for you than an equalizer or compressor could.

      Do you not know what the word “arguably” means?

      They cannot magically make new information.

      That’s literally what I’m saying. They don’t actually do anything useful.

      These programs don’t “enhance” anything. They just make some parts louder and some parts quieter, which “ARGUABLY” means you’re using a third party application to modify the game to work differently than designed (allowing you to hear things sooner than their set loudness was intended to allow).

      HRTF will do a lot more for you than an equalizer or compressor could.

      No shit. Just turn up the relevant game audio, dump these POS audio processors that pretend to be magic.
