EAX requires DirectSound3D HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) which vista lacks, and that is why the EAX options are blanked out, it's not Creative's fault because their drivers work perfectly. You will need to download the Creative Alchemy which translates the DirectSound signal to OpenAL to have the full sound effects in Vista. The software is free for X-Fi users.
