Default Min/Maxdistance values

[Springheel]

I notice that some soundshaders don't have a specific minDistance or maxDistance value (some impact sounds do and some do not). Do sounds inherit default values from some other entity or is there some other way default values are set?

Hm, no default values that I'd know of. The iddevnet site also doesn't mention any default values.

There must be something, because many of our sounds do not use a maxDistance value...how does the code know how far the sound should go in that case?

Maybe it's based on the volume itself, you can make general assumptions based on actual sound propagation physics.
