You need to use an audio api, check out the sound thread further down this forum

maybe the FMOD APIs can help you

I don't know FMOD, but OpenAL is very good. There is an Irrlicht SceneNode implementing OpenAL support. I think it is in FNORD game somewhere in the projects forum. You'll have to adapt to latest OpenAL library, though. Or check for the latest P-UMLaut 3d world which will be available in the next days (http://www.p-umlaut.de). You just have to attach the listener to the camera and the sound sources to all scene nodes with sound. OpenAL will automatically make the sounds such that you only hear the sounds near you and will even care for left and right surround effects.

Huh. I'm just finishing writing the same thing with Fmod. 3d sound emitters and listeners are working fine. I'm just trying to decide if I want to add Fmod stream sounds and music support or not.
