    Look into the 3D sound capabilities of the DirectSound API. However, I'm concerned that it'd be very difficult if not impossible to create the impression of sounds being above/below the listener when all you have are speakers to the left and right of them. There may be a solution using the head-related transfer function...

    If you could change your design to have objects vary in position horizontally instead of vertically then it would be much easier to achieve.
