tweak the EQ yourself.Īnd as for 3D sound. and if you need an EQ to make your sound card sound good, then its quality isn't that great. the only 'changes' EAX would make in these cases are no different to equalizers and reverb effects. While some of you are halfway there with the comments about quality, that comes down to the DPS's in the soundcard. you can find cracked/pirated versions of creatives alchemy on the web, which enable at least upto EAX 4.0 on any card via software.
anything done in hardware with audio, can be done in software. that means no 5.1 sound (remember all that crap about vista breaking surround sound in games? thats why. many games that used EAX, disabled software driven features in the sound if you had no EAX. you cant get EAX above 2.0 without being creative.Ģ. for many years the only way to get hardware accelerated sound was with EAX, and this goes into the flaws of EAX and why it fell down - and why we shouldnt miss it.ġ. This post is MOSTLY about EAX, but its related. I don't quite know how i managed to get such a top tier PC, I am not rich.

You should read it all tho, so you would understand exactly what I was talking about. The problem is WHY! WHY din the stupid retards from ms ditch all the support for 3D Sound and Hardware Accelerated sound in games?!? WHY?įor the youngsters that don't have a clue of what I'm talking about, I recommend them this interesting article. So why bother buying expensive cards supporting EAX, OpenAL, 3D SoundBack, Xear3D EX, etc, if the quality in games is on the same level with integrated sound. The programmers are not even bothering anymore with the sound in games, so even if the OpenAL standard provides some sound acceleration, the implementations are minimal at best, and even now I cannot think of any recent game that uses OpenAL instead of shitty flat DirectX Sound. 90% of the games today don't even have any sound options except the volumes, and this is really really sad. As an old PC game player, I have nostalgia for games like Unreal or Thief series, or even the first FEAR, where the 3D sound was a very important part of the game, more than today physics crap. I personally will never forget MS from completely ditching the 3D hardware accelerated sound from Vista. This is the best place to talk about this.
