hey man imav.. its not the MVP stuff.. but yes i do like Vista very much... infact i love it from the RC stage.. the BEta was horrible tough..

well you all can see that in every post of mine i said that i am not saying there should be no EAX support.. indeed there should be... but its not that much compulsary as said by some people.. i have played Dues-ex and all the games (most of them) like hitman series and all and yes EAX plays a imp. role in that.. but it does not mean that i cant play without EAX, indeed i can..

Vista currently does not support EAX, but it will as the EAX versions get updated.. or more in the cases when Creative labs gives the support for EAX in Vista.. right now EAX 4 does not comes up with DX 10 requirments to be fullfilled,, thats why Vista do not gives support to EAX.. in some time it will be there...

well the thing is most of the this is not compatible this is not there comments are bogus and irrelevant coz even though MS came out with beta versions for all developers to code their softwares accordingly, a lot of them didnt for ex intel (their 865 series doesnt come with vista drivers update) so its actually not MS at fault but anti-MS people dont see that they will not see the fact that adobe sued MS for having pdf support but will say why doesnt vista come with inbuilt pdf support .... same is the case to a gr8 extent with eax, so dont worry these anti-MS guys will keep on repeating the same thing ... i have some experience in dealing with such guys

sorry ! for bumping in again.. well i installed FEAR today in vista.. and get it playing..now the first thing i checked was the EAX.. well well my all options are shown on and even i can change them.. and i am hearing FULL EAX sound in vista...

i dont know the reason why one or two of you guys didnt hear the EAX sound.. maybe coz your CArd does not support eax.. maybe ...

Did you install Creative Alchemy? I thought creative alchemy was only for sound blaster Xfi series.

I don't know why you got so pissed off if I felt that EAX was an essential part of immersive experience. I played deus ex using Rs45 headphones. I finished HL2 on stereo speakers. But some games like HL2 (especially lost coast) and F.E.A.R the special feel is lost without 5.1 surround sound.

Edit - Just fund out that alchemy for audigy is released but its not free

i did not install alcehmy or anything.. i have only installed the game and played it right away... i just wanted to make sure the EAX settings and they were all just like XP..

and mee too playing with phillips Head phones on... and WOW what a sound..

and also used my 5.1 setup for EAX sound... and its great sound with EAX
