eax still in oa beta?

[aenima 4]

hi. not exactly troubleshooting, but I don't know where else to put it ^^

I've read in an older armaOA forum about this:

Dead3yez.arma2profile

(...)

soundEnableEAX=1;

soundEnableHW=1;

in my arma2OAprofile I didn't find those variables. have they been removed? because I happen to have installed a X-Fi soundcard and would like to try eax and hardware accel, if possible.

thank you.

If your using Vista or windows 7, It wont matter. MS did away with EAX and HW Accel. ( I guess you could use Alchamey)

But anyway, those settigns will do nothing at 1 or 0 as Arma doesn't use HW accel or EAX.

I'm not sure if arma mght be usign OpenAL these days.

ArmA 2 does not support EAX. ArmA 2 does have surround as I get it with a HDMI connection to my receiver, but it's pure PCM 5.1 surround.

Seems Creative cards have a problem outputting surround without EAX support and you have do some trickery to get it to work.

Check this thread out to see if there is any help to get it.

Thread: 3D surround sound

ETA: Or what SeanOfTheDead says.
