I am using Unreal >Tournament 2004 on my Windows XP (SP2/ 32bit version) and UT2004 is the >latest 3369 version. Sound card is Sound Blaster X-fi Fatality. I'm pretty sure that UT uses your Windows speaker configuration, so if you have your speaker configuration set to 5.1 in Control Panel then you should be set. Outside of that you have a few in-game settings under the "Audio" tab that can affect the quality of sound. For the best sound, use "H/W 3D + EAX" and un-check "System Driver". But, that has a tendency to break voice communications. If in-game voice comm is important to you, then the best setting is "3D Audio" and put a check by "System Driver".
