Eax

[klein1jo]

Hey, I have a Sound Blaster Live! Value with EAX. I also have a set of Altec Lansing speakers that includes 2 speakers and a sub. All of which run through 1 cord plugged into the back of my sound card. They definately do not make the most of my card.

I installed the cards drivers and it's EAX software. Right now I have no Creative components starting on startup. I disabled AudioHQ till I know how to properly use EAX. I didn't install any of the Creative Multimedia Players. How do I set up EAX? It's a complete mystery to me.

You must turn it on in the program (video game).

I see. So I have to set up nothing? Just turn it on in the options menu? Do I have to have anything starting when I start up my computer?

Thanks.

As long as the drivers are installed, it will work.

Turtile is absolutly correct. however, EAX can also be used for media players, etc. Creative cards support a wide range of EAX effects that can be used in conjunction with say, Windows Media Player to give the effect of listening to concert in a stadium.

However, the Live! cards have TERRIBLE EAX support. If yoru into games, don't buy a Live for sound quality.
