Decided i want to comeplete doom 3 again with EAX and 5.1. When i try to enable EAX in the system options it says i do not have suitable hardware or something. I have an asus xonar DX.

Why does people saying the xonar is not eax 3 to 5. it emulates it so it should work fine, unless the current drivers for windows 7 are holding back proper eax 3 to 5.

I play a lot of call of duty world at war is that using EAX 5? or only EAX 2? how can i tell ive never really used a hightech sound card before.

Same problem you have with FEAR basically. As well as emulating EAX 3-5 it has to fool the game into thinking a Creative card is present. There's quite a few games where Asus haven't hacked it into the drivers yet. Whether they ever will remains to be seen.

The whole thing is a cheeky workaround really. It's a bit like if AMD / ATI managed to get PhysX working, accelerated by their GPUs.

I heard ati are making there own physx. Asus can patch these games they are just lazy, fear is begging to be patched.

Is there was going to be a law suit they would have been sued by now mate. Asus took a long time to patch bioshock.
