Maybe they need to pay Creative some sort of royalty for each every game they sold?

Yea I guess that too, or maybe Creative needs to pay them a contract deal.
But I fell in love with X-Fi, crystalizer too, but the 3d-cmss sucks.

What Windows did you use? If Vista or 7 have you tried using latest driver and ALchemy? If ALchemy still don't detect the game you can manually put them in. One more thing, EAX won't work if you have 2nd soundcard even after you put Creative cards to be primary cards, that is from what I experienced

Finally, my very own analog line out from DAC biggrin.gif I'm very happy with it, this is the 2nd prototype. The 1st one have imbalanced volume because sketchy layout and improper grounding. After senior lecture about circuit 101 and 2 days of hard work thinking of proper layout, this is the result. Its not without pain, first the left channel is silent, because of one trace is disconnected. Only tested with NE5534, but I have LT1363 and LT1677 to test biggrin.gif Powered by unused PC PSU but modded with better caps

Using Vista X64 biggrin.gif..Xtreme Music + P5800 :3 (Xtreme modded, ironic huh tongue.gif)well, technically it's like what you mention, some games has built in sound system i guess or something similar. the game sorta had bug when the quality is set too high at control panel.

XtremeMusic XtremeModded, nice tongue.gif When you mean quality, do you mean the default format and sample rate? I just use 16-bit 44.1kHz for that, or you could use 24-bit 44.1kHz/48kHz. There is very few apps requires more bitrate than that. Do you change to Game Mode when you game?

Yeah exactly, that will happen if you don't match up the frequency between soundcard and games laugh.gif Similar to Realtek AC97 when playing old Battlefiend 1942 biggrin.gif

Since you seem to have lotsa opamps, mind if I ask if you know where to purchase a LM4562 locally? NI offers free samples, but not sure whether they'll send all the way to Malaysia or not laugh.gif

Nah, I don't have much opamp, yes National do send free sample to Malaysia, but you need to pay the shipping fee, unless you have .edu email address
