Remember that the A3D wrapper needs in turn a Directsound wrapper.updawg wrote:Also the A3D wrapper did not work - it would not even allow me to enable any 3d effects. Does anyone here have a Vortex 2 and be willing to test Diablo 2 to see if they can get it working?
Thanks again.

If this also does not work, try this. Sound may be distorted though.

I stumbled across that link you provided a few weeks ago and when I installed the software it did not provide 3D sound within diablo as it was still grayed out. Only Creative's EAX, either through Alchemy or jonpol's Indirectsound, will allow you to enable 3D sounds and environmental effects. I have not tried physical sound cards with Diablo and I wanted to see if it made a noticeable difference. So thank you Stretch for showing me that it does work, if you wouldn't mind just plugging the speakers into the surround port and see if you hear anything it would be greatly appreciated. Lastly - I haven't seen one working case where someone managed to make an A3D card work with Diablo - I see posts here and there stating that it was never truly implemented. So anyone with a working vortex card and could test this for me I'd be forever grateful!

What 3D sound options does D2 support?
We support DirectSound, Creative Labs's EAX, as well as Aureal's A3D.
