Vista and EAX

[blablablabla]

Has anyone tried the Realtek Soundback programme in Vista to convert OpenAL into DirectSound, so that EAX in SCCT versus works?
Any feedback pls...

[blablablabla]

someone must have used vista and eax -.- with a realtek card/realtek onboard sound.

CT doesn't work on my Vista PC, so :( Does on my laptop, but it's too shitty quality to really talk about EAX.

You know, you could just try it out yourself. You'd then notice that SCCT uses EAX 3.0, and Realtek Soundback only works for EAX 1.0/2.0.

not true, realtek soundback converts all directsound into openAL, so includes all EAX's. Also when u use soundback, it automatically detects SCCT as one of the programmes it fixes.
Ok can someone say how i can enable 'EAX' in options, but do this through changing system settings in notepad in the versus folder? i.e. i cant click on 'enable' EAX in game, so i want to force it by enabling it through one of the system files in the versus folder.

That's not what their website says.

I hope you do realise that your soundcard drivers could start screwing up after that?

i use realtek soundback and it does support splinter cell chaos theory (if you want check the internet for the double agent EAX fix [DA also uses EAX 3.0] and there are articles suggesting positive results from the use of soundback)
However, i still cannot enable eax in game. I have slightly improved sound using soundback, but its still not full eax (probably because i cant 'check' the EAX option ingame).
Does anyone know how i can force it through system files? I have looked through some of them, and in most e.g. DefaultProfile etc, it says bEAX=True. Does this not mean EAX is running in game, even though it wont let me initalise it in game?

Go back to XP

i would, but i really like Vista for other stuff. Looks much nicer and things than the blues and greens of XP. no games use directsound nowadays anyway, as openAL has taken over, so vista is the system for the future i reckon (dx10 etc.)

Yes, it does list CT as a game that it supports; however, it also specifically says that the "fix" enables EAX 1.0 and 2.0 output. Since CT uses EAX 3.0, you're never going to get it to work properly.

You can go into the default ini and change all the "useEAX" options to "true", but it's not going to do anything until you can check off that box.
