EAX4 & Audigy 2 Value?

svanttin · Feb 24, 2005, 11:49 PM

This card is sold as an eax 4 hd product. However, there is no eax4 driver update like there is for audigy 2 and audigy 2 zs! WTF is this?! I tryed to install those updates and neither of them worked. I will not want to softmod my card to Zs (or is it even possible?) or is that the only way to make eax4 work? How could I test whether or not the eax4 worked in my card?

BTW my driver is now dated 20.10.2004 and the version is 5.12.5.522.

Well I did tests with RightMark 3DSound and it says eax4 is supported and when I tested eax4-only effects with RightMark 3DSound Positioning Accuracy test I heard the difference and saw the differences with eax 3 vs 4.

Does this mean eax4 works? Is there a game I could test it by enabling eax3 OR eax4? I shall google now....

Thief3 and some others support EAX4

Yeah I found out that in the Soundblaster.com. However I noticed no other eax4 game, all they advertised there were eax advanced hd games or did not tell whether they were eax4 or eax 3 hd games. Well I'm downloading now Thief Deadly Shadows demo and will report back when I have tested it.

Well Thief worked just fine with eax4 enabled. Is everything fine now?? I suppose YES

=/ ?

Well I'm a stupid a-hole! I realized that the reason why there is no update for eax4 is due to that, that the A 2 Value card is NEWER than A 2 Zs, and there is eax4 support already in the A 2 Value original drivers from cd.
