From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The programs do not present themselves as anything else. The aim is to manipulate the original sound. But to call that cheating or fake, you would also have to treat the graphics in the same way. In other words, max. settings and nice with motion blur and pretty sunbeams so that you don't notice anything else, etc. Turning the settings down or deactivating them would be cheating/faking.
So if people wanna use it just let them use it.
Yes they do. They use the word "surround". That's a lie. They claim to improve audio across the board, for music movies and anything else. That's a lie. They claim to enhance immersion by making it sound more real. That's a lie.
Everything all of these programs do around achieving "surround" is fake garbage.
I said the only REAL thing some of them do is let you hear better in games, and thats arguably cheating.
It has more in common with wallhacks than turning graphics down.
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?
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).
No shit. Just turn up the relevant game audio, dump these POS audio processors that pretend to be magic.
