Straight from the product Sir Frederick Handley Page : “ Creative ALchemy ( Audigy Edition ) restores your Sound Blaster Audigy ’s power to swear out EAX effects , 3D audio , try out rate rebirth and audio mixing for sure DirectSound3D game in Windows Vista . ” That ’s right originative ’s extorting charging 10 bucks to fix something that should work in the first piazza .
Their side of the story is that Microsoft pulled the “ Vendor Extension mechanics from Vista ’s DirectSound implementation , ” which is what Sound Blaster Audigy relied on to generate EAX effect and other audio processing . Consequently , Creative had to whisk up a workaround , which is what they need to take your money for . Without it , your schmancy EAX - enabled strait card will only output delicious stereo auditory sensation .
ALchemy seems like a pretty appropriate byname at this decimal point , since they ’re essentially cause money out of nothing .
