5.1 Surround Sound on Vista 64
Has anyone got a sound card fully working with 5.1 spearkers yet? I got a
Audigy SE which during tests gives me lovely 5.1 - but because the nice developers at M$ removed 3DDirectSound nothing else can use them. So I'm looking for a new board that offers EAX 3 and surround sound 5.1 speaker system |

5.1 Surround Sound on Vista 64
Dyawlak,
It looks as though OpenAL will enable hardware acceleration in Vista, including 5.1 sound, and Creative is working on it. For a more complete picture, see the following site: http://www.creative.com/press/releas....asp?pid=12385 So, it seems that you should be able to get what you want right now with the proper OpenAL drivers, but perhaps only on a limited basis. I don't pretend to understand all the ramifications involved in this issue. -- freddy "Dyawlak" wrote: Has anyone got a sound card fully working with 5.1 spearkers yet?
