Add Steam Audio to Worlds SDK
Fax
VRChat finally implemented Steam Audio! And it's a lot easier to hear other players now.🥳
However, Steam Audio can do a lot more! Here's how Valve describes it on their website:
>
Go Beyond HRTF
> Use fully-featured spatial audio attuned to the physical attributes of your in-game geometry. Combine accurate occlusion, reflection, reverb and HRTF effects for natural sounding immersion.
The
worlds SDK
currently does not yet support Steam Audio, so none of the features above are available in VRChat yet.Please implement Steam Audio into the worlds SDK, or allow users to import it into the worlds SDK.

We're now six months further, and not a single word has been said about giving world creators any of the SDK components. Kind of a shame in my opinion, because Steam Audio is super cool when you can use its features.
Pretty sure it was initially requested for what it's capable of, and not just to improve the voice system of VRC.
I get the VRC Team has a lot on their plate already, but I really hope we'll get any kind of update on this sometime soon as I'd love to use it in my world. And I'm sure there are plenty of other world creators who feel the same.

Onboard with this, being able to muffle audio behind walls would already do so much for worlds in vrchat

If Steam Audio is implemented into the worlds SDK, I wouldn't expect it to contain
all
of Steam Audio's features - but I'd love to have access to some of them!
