Do new games use OpenAL/EAXin Vista?

It seems they don't http://connect.creativelabs.com/alchemy/Lists/Games/AllItems.aspx

For example does Fallout3/Far Cry2 sound better in XP then Vista because they are Direct3D games :confused:

Some games do some games don't just like everything else.

All should be using OpenAL by now, but some devs are stupid.

It's probs just hard to switch straight to OpenAL

I'm amazed that games that new are still using directsound 3D. However, it won't have an adverse effect for many Vsta users. With Creative X-Fi and Audigy, Asus Xonar and Realtek HD sound solutions all have software or drivers that make Directsound3D work in Vista.

It's high time Microsoft released their own solution for all soundcards though. This has gone on too long.
