Introduction

The Environmental Audio Extensions (or EAX) are a number of digital signal processing presets for audio, present in Creative Technology Sound Blaster sound cards starting with the Sound Blaster Live and the Creative NOMAD/Creative ZEN product lines. After the release of Windows Vista, which deprecated the DirectSound3D API EAX was based on, Creative discouraged EAX implementation in favor of its OpenAL-based EFX equivalent.

This project facilitates the installation and enabling of EAX on HCE by:

• adding the DSOAL files to the specified HCE directory;
• patching the player's profile to enable HWA and EAX.
