Just open the settings of your favorite game or media player and select real 7.1 or 5.1 audio output. Do not use any additional in-game virtualization setting (like a “headphone” or "3D audio" profile).

Features:

• Enable/Disable seemlessly, <em>without</em> changing your default device, writing config files or restarting the audio service
• Drop in your own <em>HRIR WAV files</em> as virtualization presets, same as <em>HeSuVi</em> on Windows
• Run it in the background with a <em>system tray icon</em> (enable it in the app's settings)
• Compatible with <em>EasyEffects</em> and most similar apps

Please note: This app requires the PipeWire audio system. Recent Linux distributions use this by default, so don't worry about it.
