AMD & Valve Introduce AMD TrueAudio Next Support for Steam Audio

Stefan Mileschin · 13th February 2018, 20:15

This week, AMD and Valve announced AMD TrueAudio Next (TAN) support for Steam Audio, introducing it with the newly released Steam Audio 2.0 beta 13. Introduced just about a year ago, Steam Audio is Valve’s cross-platform developer tool for VR spatial audio, implementing features like binaural rendering, sound occlusion, and 3D sound propagation. Although consumers do not directly use this SDK, TAN support allows developers to utilize additional audio processing capabilities for GCN-based AMD GPUs. In turn, games and VR applications built on Steam Audio may feature more complex and immersive VR audio on AMD’s GCN-based video cards.
