This file will allow for discrete 5.1/7.1 (or any sound mode your sound card and sound system support) channel surround FOR SOUND EFFECTS ONLY. Previously I had this dll hosted on a mediafire hotlink. Then I thought that I would host it here for improved stability/convenience. (Version 1.15.1) thanks "cpl_nobbs"
INSTRUCTIONS:
IMPORTANT: REMOVE the space immediately following the first "%" in "% HOMEDRIVE%" in the directory character string/name this website does not like the syntax if the space is absent, it would show up like: "&#xHO;MEDRIVE%"

When you start up the amnesia launcher there should be an "unsupported" device in the list of usable sound cards, select that device (if there are more than one, select the "unsupported" device for the sound card you wish to use) and play away...
