I knew A3D could never sound good on XP (thanks to our friend @creative)
But I didn't think this could also happen with soundblasters.
Nevertheless this, if true, may just affect EAX 1.
NFS3 is using it for sure, it was on the market even before EAX 2 announcement. NFS4 might even be using the second version, but I don't think so.
Ultimately, would you be able to record/compare sound from there? :p
Besides, Realtek boards were never really.. accurate.. I don't know about older or newer driver releases though
