(The motherboard I'm planning on won't have PCI slots at all, only PCIE).
A lot of these newer cards have something called "ALchemy" that re-enables EAX 5.0 support for games even in Windows 7.
It actually dumps a dsound.dll in the Morrowind directory kind of like how MGE intercepts direct3d DLL's.
I was wondering, are there any add-ons to Morrowind that work with EAX?
Even a simple mod that changes between open area sound for exterior cells and tight-area sound for interior cells could make a big difference!
I am not sure if there are any freeware EAX emulators or only Creative's ALchemy?
