Steam Audio, the new feature-filled audio solution from Valve is now supported directly in Unreal Engine 4 Valve just announced.
The Steam Audio plugin now ships with Unreal Engine 4.16 Preview 2 by default, so anyone using that engine will get access to it. It's not locked to a particular platform, or VR device, so it's pretty open for developers, which is great.
Find the full announcement here.
About Steam Audio
Steam Audio delivers a full-featured audio solution that integrates environment and listener simulation. HRTF significantly improves immersion in VR; physics-based sound propagation completes aural immersion by consistently recreating how sound interacts with the virtual environment.
I think it's a pretty great move by Valve to bring it out completely free. If you don't remember what it is, you can read more about it here. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Steam Audio in Unreal Engine 4,16 is not available for Linux (yet). So we need wait for it. I hope not too long.

I wonder if they fixed the Steam Audio for Dyimg Light yet.
You have to tweak settings, or it says your microphone is makimg too much noise, and you will draw zombies toward you. Funny thing is, it isn't muting it, it is like the motherboard mic input has to be left at full volume, and you have to turn down the steam audio mic.

It is not free as in freedom but just gratis, right? Or do they use an open source license?

They fixed that, i was playing for 8 hours in a row with friend in coop, and it was the best experience i had with this game since i bought it. No problem with mic, solid 60 fps with max settings and zero network problems. Was really funny and perfect. We had to wait really long time but now game works perfect on multiplayer. Finally!
PD: btw, steam audio is not that. Steam audio is a new 3D audio, sounds that work with environment, raytracing, etc

Very nice. I didn't even know Valve had something like Steam Audio. Cross Platform Audio is one thing, but that one seems pretty much different. Audio based on physical parameters, materials and geometry ... that has a lot of potential (for saving time during development).

https://valvesoftware.github.io/steam-audio/ was reported as a hacked site. Opera blocks this site (reported by netcraft). I checked this site on Netcraft: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=https://valvesoftware.github.io/steam-audio/ so Netcraft say it's risky.
and http://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/1292941199999967977 brings this error:
An error occurred while processing your request.

<edit />
Ok http://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/1292941199999967977 works now

Ah, okay, I thought it was like the in-game voice thingy.
Nice that they fixed that bug. We should get some of us Linux nerds together and play. I definitely could use some backup when taking out the Volatile caves in The Following.
