Joseph_Joestar wrote on 2025-06-09, 20:10: IIRC, the only time I saw those special presets for non-EAX games was when using a SBLive with the stock drivers from its installation disc. I don't use SBLive cards in my retro rigs anymore, so I can't say for sure. Yeah, that's must be it! Probably just …

I wouldn't know about those presets...did Sound Blaster PCI 128 have them? At least that's probably the most interesting card that some of today's PC emulators can emulate. BTW, @KainXVIII and others, can you check what EXE file opens that Audio Control Panel on the screenshot in the post above? I …

I see, does this dialog update in real time when you're playing EAX enabled title, seeing it has Active Preset box? Or maybe that applies if you've set global EAX effect in another place? Active presets only work in Entertainment mode as far as i know em.png PS - also, during win9x era i remember …

Is that how it's supposed to work on X-Fi? The only EAX settings Audigy has apply system wide, so chosen preset is applied to any sound that is played by any program, which is not something you normally want (probably). Also, EAX doesn't work in Drakan if disabled in Riot Engine Options dialog or …

These Audigy drivers remind me of old ATI drivers. Several days ago I was testing something on Win11, the OS just blue screened when I disabled sound card in Device Manager. Though to be fair, ATI liked to crap out during actual gaming, not testing odd scenarios. I was playing a bit of Drakan, EAX …

@KainXVII Maybe I went a bit overboard and should clearly separate those parts. If I remember right, they shouldn't detect you from beyond viewable distance, but if you want to be 100%, you can simply skip copying folders Common, Mountain World, Islands World, Volcanic World, Multiplayer, Rift …

Maybe offtop, but there one section in readme to the AiO patch that confuses me: "-Updated most of the levels' visibility data, with exception of Ruined Village and Volcano (Max Fog Distance at 200% is effective now). -Tweaked ballista and dragon NPCs to detect player sooner to compensate for larger …

No idea about MIDI part, but default port acceleration on Windows XP with Sound Blaster Audigy Rx also makes music in Drakan not play. @KainXVIII You can either temporarily take ownership to be able to rename the DLL or launch CMD as TrustedInstaller (System Informer makes latter a breeze) and …
