Valcon schrijft: "Vortex of Sound maakt melding van 'illegaal' geposte Aureal 2048 drivers voor de Vortex II chipset. Deze driver zou ondersteuning hebben voor EAX. Wees snel, want Aureal zal dit niet leuk vinden ":
New Features: Aureal A3D3, EAX 1 and I3D2 supportLimitations and problems: Some games which support both Aureal A3D/2 and EAX require the Aureal A3D drivers (a3d.vxd, a3d.dll and a3dapi.dll) to be renamed for EAX support to work Some older games cause blue screen errors in AU30CORE.VXD when Aureal A3D/2 is enabled Quake 3 requires reverb support to be disabled in the Aureal control panel for Aureal A3D2 to work
Install instructions: Extract the Vortex 2 Windows 9x 4.06.2048.14 beta reference drivers to a temporary directory Go to Add/Remove in the control panel and remove the old sound card drivers The uninstall entry should be called Aureal Vortex AU8830 or the name of the sound card Reboot and point Windows 9x to the temporary directory when it asks for drivers Wait until the Aureal icon shows up in the system tray to make sure the beta reference drivers are completely installed, this can take several minutes. Delete all a3dapi.dll files except the one in /Windows/System/ to make sure all games are using the Aureal A3D3 drivers.
In ieder geval positief om te horen dat er daadwerkelijk gewerkt wordt aan EAX support voor de Vortex II drivers. Na een jaar van beloftes heeft Aureal op dit gebied nog bijzonder weinig (= zero) resultaten laten zien.
