I chose FMOD. I like working with it. Audiere is also nice, I included it in the SDK because it is open source.

Audiere hasn't 3d sound but is a great engine. Is one of the poll list a sound enigne with 3d sound?

For my game i'm using OpenAL.It's very easy(almost like Irrlicht itself) and also it has 3D sound and a wide costumization system.And the most important thing it can read Ogg format, which is the best format for sound right now.

What is so good at ogg? I have never heared about it.

It's a new format so maybe you didn't hear about it.

Audiere has pan/volume/pitch control so a 3d wrapper could quickly be made. i wonder if niko would like this added to irrlicht...VeneX wrote:Audiere hasn't 3d sound but is a great engine. Is one of the poll list a sound enigne with 3d sound?

OpenAL is 1) easy, 2) 3D and SoundBlaster Live 5.1 compatible, 3) cross-platform, and 4) free

I really enjoy Audiere as it was the only program I had success with in my game. Maybe that is becuase I tried to do all of the audio in one night and the game took two months!

Well, audiere has a very simple to use interface. Its free, so you might use it. The only real advance openal has over audiere is 3d sound (hardware supported) but in fact you will need to write your own openal wrapper class to use all the power openal has to offer, lots of work.
If you want to play sound with as little afford as possible use audiere. If you want to have a sound environment as doom3 will have use openal instead.

But Audiere isn't free. OpenAl is!
If you read the aggreement on the Audiere site, it is free if your program is free. If you want to sell your program you have to pay for the privilege of using Audiere.
OpenAl has no such restriction.
