  • NEW !..Vortex 2 REF.drivers WHQL certifed 2041

    http://www.vortexofsound.com/drivers/drv_v29x.htm

    well ! ...till we wait for the REALY NEW one (2048)..this should be just a refreshment & they are WHQL CERTIFED under DX7a

    this is NEW :

    NEW FEATURES:
    This section lists new features incorporated into the Vortex
    drivers.

    - New and improved Icons on the A3D Settings test button.
    - Added S/PDIF 44.1kHz support on AU8830.
    - Updated the system tray program to reflect new output mode names:
    Satellite speakers, Monitor Speakers and Quad Speakers.
    - Added full support for SPDIF PCM support on all of the 8830 cards
    that support SPDIF.
    - The user interface on the Control panel has a fader on the A3D
    Settings page, which allows the user to Fade between the front and
    rear outputs. The fader is only functional on boards that have four
    outputs with speakers connected to them.
    - Added support for a one step uninstall.
    - AC-3 support works through the waveout interface.
    - Added new A3D 2.0 Demo App : "A3D 2.0 Rooms"
    - Hardware Detection for Quad and Stereo Codecs.
    - Full Quad support for all playback modes:

    Quad support for Non 3D streams: They are distributed equally to
    the front and rear channels.

    Quad support for A3D: Full A3D rendering and crosstalk on front
    channels plus panning on the rear channels. This includes A3D
    SuperQuad which is a quantum leap over standard quad solution used
    by 4 speaker 3D audio systems (discrete 4 channel panning).
    Vortex 2 significantly improves upon that solution by introducing
    A3D SuperQuad: The combination of discrete 4 channel panning with
    HRTF support. The result is better 3D positioning coverage for
    the locations where there are no speakers: above/below listener,
    in between speakers, and inside / outside of the circle formed by
    speakers.

    Quad support for DS3D: Full rendering on front channels plus
    panning on the rear channels.

    - Selection between Narrow and Wide speaker placement for A3D.
    - Support for multichannel AC-3 playback was added through the waveout
    interface.
    - Added support for additional Codecs.

    Provider : Aureal Semiconductor
    Date : 1-15-2000
    Driver : 4.06.2041.04 WHQL

    I like new drivers too, I'm using the beta of 2048 from here:
    http://saturn.spaceports.com/~a3dfan/Vortex2EAX.zip

    One thing I noticed is that Q3demo give faster benchmarks with sound on for whatever reason.
