A new FB Alpha is available for download. There has been quite a lot of work done on improving sound in this release, particuarly in balancing and directing the different audio streams for each game. The result is that this release of FB Alpha sounds much better for games that have plenty of audio sources.

 

You can download the new release on the FB Alpha page.
