Don't you mean special effects?When using an hd codec like the one in xonar I would lose all that realism.

Honestly I did tried it with a lot of games and fallowed a lot of guides based on each game, but doesn't give the same result as it those with XP automatically. I used it with "The Witcher" last time, and with it Enabled, I couldn't hear the rain drops or the footsteps. All this based on different settings (personal or used by other users from creative forum). Even with that minus I still tried it, expecting some difference - and it did give me that difference by crashing the game (fallowed the error report and lead back to alchemy). Most users are just happy if they can find a way to enable EAX with some games in Vista -and when they do their so excited that don't realize the lack off certain sounds. Only after mentioning about that, they came to realize that EAX doesn't give them a plus of sound but a minus. You might say Alchemy is a DS emulator for Vista and a resampler in the same time but not a capable one and I'm not the first one who said that and definitely won't be the last. Just try and make a comparison between all you games in XP with EAX enabled, compared to Vista by Alchemy. I did that after moving to Vista and that was a waste of time, by trying to accomplish the impossible from a "user" point of view. As mentioned before Vista killed EAX (DirectSound3D), or crippled it so badly that's not worth using with Vista. If I want EAX, I switch back to XP
