Re: [hlds_linux] Win XP, A3D and compatibility mode
s_eax 0 = no positional audio s_eax 1 = full positional audio Will you stop going with the head into the wall and just listen to what we tell you? EAX enables positional audio, and I don't know about other games, but half life will not give you any positional 4speakers without enabling either eax or a3d. It's as if you said you can get sterovision (depth illusion) just by wearing anaglyphic glasses, even when you don't enable stereo drivers.

Re: [hlds_linux] Win XP, A3D and compatibility mode
Uh lets just say I am pushing the Audigy now then the SBLive non-Audigy cards. I highly recoommend upgrading your SBLive Value. The sound quality its extremely excellent. I habe been using the Audigy Plat Ex for like 4 weeks now and it was an excellent upgrade from my Plat 5.1. I highly recommend it. All the cool little software tools work well in WinXP Pro, not sure in WinXP Home but probably. I would get the Ex version so you dont lose a drive bay and you can position the External live Drive whereever it suits you but must be within 6 feet of your computer.

Re: [hlds_linux] Win XP, A3D and compatibility mode
If you get yourself a Platinum Audigy or any line of the Audigy product list EAX will surprise you a lot. Its clearer, and you can hear more now. They finally have fixed their EAX Drivers, and the improvements are remarkable.

RE: [hlds_linux] Win XP, A3D and compatibility mode
> A3D = Aureal 3D (Audio) > Much like EAX of Creative (SB Live! cards) A3D was Aureal's answer to 3D positional audio. A3D and Aureal's products were widely thought to be superior to Creative's hardware, and A3D was definitely superior to Creative's EAX technology. Aureal was much like nVidia in that it was a small company that produced a superior product. Unfortunately, unlike nVidia, it was never able to gain a big enough market share foothold, a position that left it vulnerable to Creative's buy-out attempts. Creative was finally able to force its hand, at which point it bought and buried Aureal, its only *real* competition at the time. Right now you've got more like the PC and the PC-compatible thing going on with Santa Cruz and such. Anyway, there you go. I'm still bitter about my Monster Sound MX200 not having real Win2k/XP support because the bastards at Creative did such a thorough job of burying Aureal and the A3D standard. -- Eric (the Deacon remix) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
