    Make your audigy support all dsound games(hardware EAX) and apps under vista! (your old audigy repower up!;p)

    -This this created by siberiaic ,if you suppose to forward this with someone else,please leave the author header on. thanks!
    As already we knows,the AUDIGY soundcard will not able to enable EAX & DSound hardware acceleration under Vista(32/64),cuz in this OS new OPENAL api replaced with old DirectSound ,it will be made the games acceleration also,so Creative released a retail Driver(software) calls ALCHEMY that hooked original dsound API by the driver orders.

    Alchemy creates 2 files (dsound.dll/dsound.ini) to each folders with where it included game excutable file,but not all games available alot of games will not displays on the Alchemy LIST!!

    WHY this patch?
    1.because hardware dsound acceleration should be took a bit of performancez incrased when you guys playing games.
    2.multispeakers supported. 5.1 EAX,sounds great?
    3.1step all apps&games supports,flung the dsound.dll anywhere? That wasnt good enough.

    Here I got a way to support all dsound games immediately,but first you need to be filled the conditions:

    1.Vista x64 or 32.
    2.Audigy soundcard(Xifi? better then...!)
    3.OFFICIAL DRIVER!!! for vista (WDM) and Alchemy INSTALLED!!! (Audigy requires cracked Alchemy,find it out by g00gle;p)
    4.acouple of old games for test it;p

    Download the pack and do this:
    1.Decompress and release all files to somewhere.
    2.Exec the batch file (32.bat or x64.bat which you choose uself)
    3.Done,reboot ur system.

    Okay...You will not need to selected the game in alchemy's list anymore.if game supports DirectSound ,just enable it from game integrated options.
    Tested games:
    Halo1/Hitman/F.E.A.R/Beowulf(EAXhardware)/...more...
    I think that should be all dsound(EAX) games supported!!!

    Tested App:
    mpc movie player

    -Uninstall?
    Just rename the dsoun_.dll back to original name.

    PS.
    If some one games appearing 0x0000005c error ,just put the original dsound.dll into the game main directory(with exe existed).
