not true EAX, it\'s a wrapper

like saying Glide runs on an ATi card

come on bro, pay some attention

oh, and EAX 1 and 2 hasnt been used since like Tomb Raider 2

honestly bro, get out of the tech field
you\'re dangerous

nice try, tho

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

sigh keep trying mm, fact is, it uses EAX and supports it.  Try reading the specs for your audigy card lol.

I personally don\'t bother with Reverb effects, probably sounds GREAT! on a 2 speaker system though.



wrapper

you bought a DD 5.1 sound card for a 2.1 speaker system?

wtf?

you really did buy this to watch DVD\'s on your PC.  im absolutely shocked

you\'re a numbskull
do you even know what an API is or how it works?

i give up, you\'re like a child

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

dood try reading, i bought it for a DD receiver.. 5.1 system.  I\'m saying EAX effects probably sound great on a 2 speaker system.. I\'m on a 5.1 system so don\'t use them.


and again, any soundcard that has a spdif passthrough will work for dvds. Pretty much every card today supports that.  Wtf would i buy this card when i could have just used my sblive5.1 card sitting in my other pc.  Yes mm, i know what a API is. Even if they were using it with a wrapper. It doesn\'t decrease the effect or gaming framerates when its done in a little thing called hardware.
I wouldn\'t be giving me shit about my card, my card is what CREATIVE will most likely be following and charging 3x the amount for.

Eax 1/2 is used in most current games.

sigh, troll elsewhere please.

thats what i\'m trying to figure out....

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

fuck your slow.



I have a Dolby Digital Reciever, It only has 1 analog input (front Left, Right speakers)  
When i play games i want to use 5.1 surround.
So this soundcard like my soundstorm chipset convert 3 pcm signals (front L/R, Rear L/R, Center and Sub) into 1 AC3 encoded signal in Real-Time.  Then it sends this signal to my reciever by optical (toslink) to my receiver to decode.  So i get 5.1 surround in my games instead of just getting stereo.

lol, ignorance is truly bliss

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

yes, try getting out of the habbit.

[Evi]

yes, try getting out of the habbit.

I almost thought your wrote hobbit.

lol, ignorance is truly bliss

Do you know this from experience?
