"Creative offers workaround for Vista gaming sound "

Your title makes it sound like soundcards suck with vista. Even the article title is kind of misleading. From everything I've read about the issue it seems the only feature missing is EAX. I've never cared for EAX even though I play games kind of often.

not just EAX. 3D audio as well.
