Making positional sounds on another layer

I'm making a scrolling game in 320x240. Unfortunately, the XAudio playing sound from object feature doesn't work quite well since it's trying to translate from the coordinates of the non-scrolled, big layer rather than the local screen layer (where I put the hud in). This causes my sounds to be quiet and positioned incorrectly with the screen.

Is there a way to playback sound effects from their correct position relative to the scrolling center?

You need to set the listener object. It's under positioned sounds. Just set the listener object to your character and all sounds should be heard relative to that object's position.

ah thanks, I never knew that!

Your welcome.
