[PATCH] Silent Hill Homecoming BIG Sound FIX

[PATCH] Silent Hill Homecoming BIG Sound FIX

Finally, I’ve found out how to fix all the sound bugs on all the audio system types – from Stereo to 7.1 in the Silent Hill Homecoming!

No more wrong sound mapping on the Surround systems!

No more 80% sound out from the right speaker on the Stereo systems!

So let’s begin!

First of all, this game has TWO major problems with the sound.

Problem number UNO

The game doesn’t support non 5.1 surround systems. It has been designed for 5.1 output only!

Problem number TWO

Ok, you can say: I have a 5.1 system, I want to play like a GOD!
Suck my binary code! – This game will answer.
Even if you have 5.1, it does not save you from troubles, because this game has wrong sound mapping.
What is this mean? E.g., when it plays a cinematic video clip, all sounds are shifted to the left, so the voice, which must sound from the central channel, sounds from the left channel, left channel sounds from rear left, rear left from subwoofer! (sic) etc.
I’ve done a big investigation and work.
Result – this big patch

If you play on the 5.1 sound system – your problem is solved at this stage!
But if you play on the stereo system, you must move to the next chapter.

How to fix sound on Stereo systems

When you play on the stereo, 80% of the sound is reproducing from the right speaker. This happens because the game can’t perform correct downsampling from 5.1 to Stereo (it looks like KONAMI doesn’t give a ♥♥♥♥t about testing, at all!).
So, the only solution is to trick the game with a special sound driver.

Recipe is:

1. Install my BIG Sound FIX to correct wrong mapping in-game audio files
2. Install a special driver which can give an illusion of 5.1 sound to the game and convert this sound to Stereo for your sound system at the same time
3. Correctly config your sound settings after installing the driver
