Question Why do Head Audio sources get super echoey when you use locational sound?

[pantera]

Is there some way to have locational sounds without the tinny 'inside a box' sound?

This is not the case : )
If you're talking about the checkbox "spatialize", they don't get echoey, they are spatialized differently. All sounds are spatialized by default.

If you're getting echo/reverb, it is not native, you might be using VAMAtmosphere. Which can be configured to have a different reverb.

Also: when you have a problem... giving a video recording of the problem if a screenshot is not enough like in the case of sound is better for people to help you out.
