Upcoming 3D Audio Apocalypse in Vista?
,----[ Quote ]
| With Microsoft's decision to remove the audio hardware layer in
| Windows Vista, legacy DirectSound 3D games will no longer use hardware
| 3D algorithms for audio spatialization. Instead they will have to rely
| upon the new Microsoft software mixer that is built into Windows Vista.
| This new software mixer will give the users basic audio support for their
| old Direct Sound games but since it has no hardware layer, all EAX
| effects will be lost, and no individual per-voice processing can be
| performed using dedicated hardware processing.

| I downloaded a few other utilities and this continued, along with all

| minutes of this, I gave up and closed my Parallels session.

| Is there an "expert mode" in Vista I can set so I'm not treated
| like this is my first computer the next time I use it?
