Since I have an Audigy based sound card, in order to get a game's music to sound right (No one Lives Forever) it requires me to run dxdiag and turn off "Default Port Acceleration". One question I have is that is there a way to possibly have this turn itself off when the game starts and then back on when its done? Its only because while this is off midi is done through software and doesn't sound as great with other games.

What Direct-X version are you using?

Maybe is some bug in Audigy drivers. Are your drivers updated?

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

Direct X 9.0c, but I'm not asking "why" it occurs...I understand that after a good few hours of searching. I'm merely wondering if there is a way to toggle it on and off by a shortcut or something.

The DXDiag util controls a registry value change. Here's the main bit:

1Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
2
3[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectMusic]
4"DisableHWAcceleration"=dword:00000001

You may need to reboot if you add this to the Registry manually? I doubt it but I couldn't say for certain!
