I'm trying to run the US retail version of Thief: The Dark Project on my Windows 98 machine equipped with SB Audigy and my question is does the game support "proper" 5.1 EAX? I have "Hardware Acceleration" selected in the options menu, but when I try to run a test, it only checks the left and right channel. During the actual gameplay the sound also seems to be stereo rather than surround. Is it supposed to be like this or am I doing something wrong? Maybe some patch I need to download? Other games like Max Payne run fine in 5.1.

The retail version of Thief: The Dark Project only supported A3D.

If memory serves, EAX support was added in the official patch 1.33, so you will need to download and apply that

Thanks Bro'seph, I'll try that! 😁

EDIT: I can confirm that patch 1.33 did the trick.
