## Description

![](Images/3D_Sound.png)

These files will allow you to enable the following in-game settings: 
**`3D Sound`**, **`Environmental Effects`**, and **`3D Bias`**. This fix 
is equivalent to restoring lost game functionality caused by modern 
hardware no longer natively supporting these features (Such as Diablo 
II's Glide support requiring the use of a glide wrapper to enable the 
**`3DFX (Voodoo)`** card's effects like **`Perspective`** mode). In this 
instance, the lost settings were originally provided by **`Creative Sound`**
cards like **`Sound Blaster`**.

Have fun listening and playing with these amazing, and practically lost 
features. This works for all versions of Diablo II. No Diablo II files 
are required to be modified for this to work, it's an additive only 
change just like using the **`ddraw.dll`** for **`cnc-ddraw`**, and can 
be used on Vanilla Diablo II.

The Cactus default installation already includes these two files and you 
simply need to enable the options you want in game.
