DirectSound in Windows 95

The new Standard for PC Audio - DirectSound and DirectSound 3D are the new Microsoft audio standards for PC computing, much like SoundBlaster technology has been the audio standard for DOS. DirectSound will revolutionize PC audio in Windows 95. It allows for the simulation of 3D audio effects, such as the ability to hear opponents creep up behind you and helicopters flying over head before either is visible on screen. Monster Sound, using A3D Interactive audio technology from Aureal, accelerates and radically improves the quality of DirectSound in Windows 95.

How Monster Sound Works
