DS3D GX and DSP Modes

Xonar DG is introducing an innovative technology –DirectSound 3D Game

Extensions v2.5 (DS3D GX 2.5)- to restore DirectSound 3D Hardware acceleration

mode and its subsidiary EAX effects on Windows Vista for 3D games. Unlike some

proprietary API like OpenAL, DS3D GX doesn’t require games to support OpenAL

API. All existing games compatible with Microsoft DirectX and DirectSound 2D/3D

will be supported with DS3D GX technology. Before you start EAX and DS3D HW

games, enable DS3D GX on the Xonar Audio Center, and disable the function after

the games.
In addition, Xonar DG also offers a Hi-Fi mode for hi-fidelity playback without any

effect processing to keep the original audio fidelity. Every time you turn on Hi-Fi

mode, Xonar DG will clear all sound effects. It’s also recommended to use Hi-Fi

mode for audio quality tests (using RMAA software or another machine-based

measurement). Use the DSP mode button as the quick setup if you don’t wish to

know the details of the effect setup.

No sound effects will be applied to high-definition �6�Hz�1�2�Hz content.
