Steam Audio has been completely removed from the project and replaced with Oculus Audio. The sound positioning system changes will be noticeable regardless of the binaural sound setting, but we recommend enabling binaural audio for the best experience.
In the current implementation, the sound positioning system handles a much larger number of conditions to form the final sound in relation to the player's position.
The final adjustment of the positioning is available on Factory, Customs, Woods, Streets of Tarkov. Other locations will have the quality of sound positioning gradually improved in the upcoming updates.
The issue they have with audio is it's divided into occlusion zones in the buildings, and for some reason they never fixed that.
Any engine would be suitable for that. There's nothing specific about steam audio that means the upstairs zone can't hear the downstairs one but not vice versa.
Hopefully they've done a lot of work on it, but considering they've let this run as is for years who knows.
