so still no direct sound in EAX Games and it looks like the control panel still doesnt work :( Ill download them once i know that the control panel is working.
 
There never will be complete DirectSound EAX on Vista as there's no DirectSound. Creative are working on an emulator (Alchemy) that works on a fair few games though.

Surprised there's still no DD/DTS decoding or 6.1 still though :confused:
 
The problem with ALchemy tho is that if a game isn't directly supported by the ALchemy version you've installed you have to manually copy files around and then tweak them to get hardware-accelerated audio working properly - too damn fiddly if you ask me....

There are rumours suggesting that MS realise they've humped the bunk over the audio HAL and that they will be putting it back in with sp1 for Vista - think it's a longshot but you never know...
