Ingame sound Oddities

Two things about TGEA sound that have bugged me are an odd faint static hissing sound, and it is not in surround sound.

On a whim i finally look into why and what to fix it, and it was rather simple.

$pref::SFX::useHardware = "1";

All speakers channels(frount/center/back/sub) work, and the static hissing sound is gone.

You can select use hardware from Options -Audio (CTRL+ O in-game). Though I've noticed that the box doesn't keep "ticked" when returning to the main menu.

So if you tick it in the main menu then exit, it'll be in prefs, but if you load up and then exit again, it'll reset to 0.

(no hiss on my system btw)
