Notes

Making changes to the in-game settings may cause DeviceName to revert to its original state upon exiting the game. If making changes to the in-game settings, consider checking RushEngine.ini for changes made to the DeviceName field and re-apply the above fix if necessary.

Use DirectSound Restoration Software^{[citation needed]}

As an alternative to editing RushEngine.ini, follow the guide for DirectSound3D restoration software to restore surround sound functionality to The Last Remnant.
