Why does this game's audio suck so much?
Sefou:
Seriously. Everything is mono and the best-quality most audio in the game is 22050Hz, and a few sounds are 10025Hz. I know the game engine can't do stereo, but really, how is 1/4th of CD sample rate excusable?

You've got to be kidding me.
Next time you're playing in-game, turn your left or right ear towards any sound.
Then, come back and tell me if Torque supports stereo

3D sound ≠ stereo sound sources. Obviously I meant that the game can't process stereo sound files. Why do you think the console yells at you if you try using stereo music?

This truthfully does nothing for the sound quality.
And the reason the audio quality is no higher than 22050Hz is for speedy downloading. Would you rather download a 0.8MB file containing 2 seconds of audio, or a 0.1MB file containing 2 seconds of audio?
