Fixes:

    * Enables the DirectSound3D game audio to be processed by your Sound Blaster audio device to deliver EAX effects, 3D audio spatialization, sample rate conversion and hardware audio mixing. Without this, most DirectSound3D games will be reduced to stereo output without any EAX effects.
    * Improves 3D audio processing for host-based Sound Blaster audio devices.

Requirements:

    * Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows Vista 32-bit
    * Creative audio product listed above
