Re: Blog: Old School HTPC Gaming
I’m hesitant to bother trying that after reading [url=http://forums.bioware.com/viewtopic.html?topic=715382&forum=10]this[/url]:
[quote]EAX is only usable with a compatible Sound Blaster card with Creative Alchemy installed when playing on Vista or 7. You install the drivers for the appropriate card and then the Creative Alchemy program which translates newer hardware calls to the old type API from XP etc. and makes EAX available in older games.[/quote]
That would seem to confirm my own thoughts about this. In essence, without Alchemy, it won’t work. In order to get Alchemy, I need a compatible sound card, which I don’t believe any of the Auzentech are (you said the same thing). The X-fi, however, does have Alchemy available for it. So, I think I’m back to needing to pick up an X-fi. Off to ebay… 🙂
Thanks again for all the ideas!
