Drag and drop modification of OpenAL Soft by Silikone that uses WASAPI in exclusive mode
For OpenAL games/apps, extract the OpenAL Soft zip below into the executable/DLL folder
For DirectSound games/apps, extract the DSOAL zip below into the executable/DLL folder

✅Reduces latency
✅Bypasses Windows mixer
⚠️Bypasses virtual surround software or any other system-wide effect
⚠️Prevents other apps from playing/recording sound while using it
⚠️Switching speaker configuration while using might break sound playback and require restarting app/game
⚠️Volume might be handled by the app/game, so it will probably start louder and independent from the system volume
ℹ️HRTF (3D audio for headphones) is enabled by default. To disable (for surround speakers), set hrtf=false or remove the line in alsoft.ini.

Make sure exclusive mode is enabled in the device's advanced settings:
