Most 4.1- and 5.1-channel (see below) soundcards can change 3D sound and send the signals to the appropriate speakers. It also sometimes refers to the implication of echos according to the environment you are in in a game. If you are in a cave, the echos would be louder and more numerous than if you were in a padded room.
