I don't think so at this point. But it might soon because they bought out Aureal. So if not right now, probably in the future

I believe none of the newer mainstream cards like the Santa Cruz, Live, and Philips officially support A3D 2.0. I can tell you that while the Philips does not support it offically, I have played Alice with A3D 2.0 and the Philips did a nice job with it. It may only be emulating it, but it worked very well. Also, A3D 2.0 is most likely not going to be used in newer games since Aureal is out of business. If Creative decides to start supporting it, then maybe it will make a comeback. I think it is more likely that they will just use A3D technology in their next version of EAX.

Since the SB-Live's EMU10K1 chip is programmable, would Creative be able to add support for A3D 2 in hardware and have no performance hit?
