GX and DSP Modes
DirectSound 3D Game Extensions v1.0 (GX 1.0) is an innovative technology that
restores DirectSound 3D Hardware acceleration mode and its subsidiary EAX
effects on Windows Vista/Win 7 for 3D games. Unlike some proprietary API like
OpenAL, GX does not require games to support OpenAL API. All existing games
compatible with Microsoft DirectX and DirectSound 2D/3D will be supported with
GX technology. Before you start EAX and DS3D HW games, please enable GX on
the Xonar Xense audio center, and disable the function after the games.
Supports latest GX 2.5 for gaming on Vista/Win 7 & XP
GX 2.5 not only revives EAX and DirectSound HW effects, but also allows you
to run EAX HD 5.0 games on both XP and Vista/Win 7. It provides the best
compatibility with existing DirectX games.
Besides the abundant sound effects described above, Xonar Xense also provides
quick Digital Sound Processing modes which are configured for typical applications
including Music, Movies, and Games over different output speaker types. In
addition, Xonar Xense also offers a Hi-Fi mode for hi-fidelity playback without
affecting the original audio fidelity. Every time you turn on Hi-Fi mode, Xonar Xense
will clear all sound effects. Use the Hi-Fi mode for audio quality tests (using RMAA
software or another machine-based measurement). Use the DSP mode button for
a quick setup if you do not wish to know the details of the effect setup.
No sound effects are applied to high-definition 96KHz/192KHz content.
