However, I am NOT going to shoot the messenger when it's not the messenger's fault. I agree lack of EAX support is a pain (I have an Audigy 2 ZS Gamer, so I got hit even harder than you). DirectSound/DirectSound3D still works, and OpenAL still works (in fact, both work like they are supposed to with the X-Fi, the Audigy 2/4, even the base Audigy) however, EAX is pretty much DOA (however, EAX Environmental Audio still works, and is still usable however, it has to be set either via the Creative Audio Console or an application that can access it, such as Creative MediaSource for Vista).
This affects not just the X-Fi, but all the way back to the original Audigy. Furthermore, my Audigy and my Audigy 2 ZS both work perfectly under Doom 3, Quake 4, and Counter-Strike: Source, so I have absolutely no clue why you cant seam to run them.
The audio stack in Vista is such that EAX support in gaming (in fact, *all* EAX support except Environmental Audio) is strictly software-only. This does not, and I must make this clear, change anything other than the suite, and how creatives drivers consider the card. If you are talking about in Vista, no, and it isn't supposed to.ĮAX support in Vista plain and simply *is not there*, and is not going to BE there.and it's not Creative's fault.
