The current DirectX forum structure was voted for here, I understand your concerns but it's important to go with the majority vote. You never know, the poll could go the other way. That's the point, it's a fair way of deciding what to do.

If you'd like to see a general sound forum (or FMOD or whatever), start a new topic in this forum and with enough positive feedback you can have what you want

BTW This poll was the result of someone doing justthat
