sound card support

[Alizar]

Hello,
I own a x fi fatality gamer pro sound card from creative and can't get the EAX features to work. I know this is partly to do with Vista and the card not working well together. Creative released ALchemy to get around this but DDO isn't supported. Can someone tell me if this game uses DirectSound or DirectSound3D? I assume it does and therefore I need this game added to the ALchemy supported game list. Any chance at updated the sound engine to a more modern engine like fmod engine which is used for the newer game titles?
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.

The problem is mainly with vista - unforunately there are no plans to change the game sound that I am aware of. You would want to contact creative about getting better eax support with Vista but I'm not sure that's going to happen either ;/

Thanks for the reply,
From what I understand this is a problem with all games that use the older engine. Creative has provided ALchemy to emulate the function of the missing xp programming. Problem is it only supports a small list of older games. DDO isn't on the list yet.

Now, since DDO is a MMO and is going to DX10 then why not update the sound engine as well. They are adding DX10 to make it more immersive. Updating the sound engine will do the same thing. This game sounds amazing on Xp, but the graphics are **** on XP..no DX10 support.
