EAX® is a collection of powerful, innovative audio technologies designed by Creative's world-class audio scientists to bring true interactive 3D audio to PC gaming. The sophisticated environment effects of EAX provide a greater sense of realism to the gaming experience, and enhance the overall enjoyment of the player. The additional audio cues provided by EAX can also give gamers a competitive advantage in multiplayer games, enabling the early detection of the enemy. It's therefore no surprise that EAX is well established as the premier choice for interactive 3D audio for games.

EAX was first introduced in 1998, and since then has been under continuous development with new cutting-edge technology being added to its set of features. When the Sound Blaster Audigy series was launched, a new generation of EAX was released and branded as EAX ADVANCED HD to call out the high-definition audio features that offer dramatically increased 3D audio performance and functionality.

The EAX ADVANCED HD Game Audio Library give you total audio immersion in PC gaming. It delivers superior audio fidelity and rich environment effects for an unsurpassed digital entertainment experience. It is the defacto audio standard for powering the next generation of cutting-edge PC games.
