In response to ungrateful behavior of Creative, I decided to release a patched ALchemy for all models of Live! and Audigy soundcards.
It was ready since its release in last March. I was just waiting the proper moment, when Creative would make a stupid move.
A simple check for EAX5 was removed to enable Audigy support as well as a check for EAX4, to enable support for Live! cards.
Some notes:
* DirectSound3D may not work properly on Live! cards, while DS3D+EAX seem to work just fine.
* DirectSound2D is a bonus for all cards, because is bypass the Audiodg service on Windows Vista, so no more memory/CPU cycles wasted. Just use ALchemy with your favorite player (VLC and Mplayer Classic does not work properly, while foobar does).
* When using ALchemy, EAX effects tab will be disabled on AudioConsole, just like on X-Fi, on Live! it works, though.
* Your soundcard is detected as X-Fi when ALchemy is used with Everest, Sandra or RightMark 3DSound, that is just a cosmetic issue.
* Make sure you have the latest Creative drivers for Windows Vista installed.

Post seems to be a week old, I'm surprised Creative didn't shut the link down and banned the poster. In any case, should the link go down I saved the file and can mail it to anyone who wants it.
