Creative ALchemy Project allows you to run your favorite DirectSound3D games on
Windows Vista
as the developers intended - with full hardware accelerated 3D Audio
and EAX support! This is done by translating DirectSound calls into
OpenAL. In order for this to happen, a couple of files need to be
installed into each game directory. This is handled automatically by
the ALchemy installer - but can also be performed manually by advanced
users.
Requirements:
- Windows Vista
- SB X-Fi * series soundcard with native OpenAL 1.1 Support * Excludes SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio
