DS3D GX and DSP Modes

Xonar DSX introduces an innovative technology – DirectSound 3D Game
Extensions v2.5 (DS3D GX 2.5) - to restore DirectSound 3D Hardware acceleration
mode and its subsidiary EAX effects on Windows
some proprietary API like OpenAL, DS3D GX doesn't require games to
support OpenAL API. All existing games compatible with Microsoft DirectX and
DirectSound 2D/3D will be supported with DS3D GX technology. Before you start
EAX and DS3D HW games, enable DS3D GX on the Xonar Audio Center, and
disable the function after playing.
In addition, Xonar DSX also offers a Hi-Fi mode for hi-fidelity playback without
any effect processing to retain original audio fidelity. Every time you turn on Hi-Fi
mode, Xonar DSX will clear all sound effects. It's also recommended to use Hi-Fi
mode for audio quality tests (using RMAA software or another machine-based
measurement). Use the DSP mode button to quickly enable this feature without
having to configure all the settings.
No sound effects will be applied to high-definition 96KHz/192KHz
content.
Vista for 3D games. Unlike
