Warhammer and EAX

[Pelu]

I see Warhammer have an option to enable EAX but is gray out... and I know windows vista need the alchemy for EAX games to work... but WAR isnt in the alchemy list at all.... anyone know where to place the dll wrappers to let WAR used the EAX?

QUESTION
My EAX option is grayed out in Windows Vista. What can I do?
Answer

Windows Vista requires Creative ALchemy for full Audigy & X-Fi Hardware and EAX Advanced HD support.

For more information on ALchemy, please visit http://soundblaster.com/alchemy.

Thats the whole point... that answer doesnt seem to do anything at all.... even with the newest version of the ALchemy for X-Fi the option still gray out... because warhammer doesnt appear on the list...

I was looking to manually create the warhammer entry in ALchemy but i dunno the directory to place the wrappers...

let me guess... I have ALchemy installed and the EAX effect is on no matter the gray out in the Warhammer option? lol

actually, yah. I'd link it, but dont feel like searching for it on the warhammer forums

If you look in the ALchemy install directory (C:\Program Files\Creative\ALchemy, I think) you'll see two files: dsound.dll and dsound.ini. Copy both of those files to the same directory the Warhammer exe file is located. The ALchemy program just copies those files to your game directories for you.

You can add games to the Alchemy list,I normally tell it where the path game folder is for the game in question then select "add",its still trial and error if the game will work since there are no 100% guarantees,personally nowadays I don't bother with Alchemy since its not 100% stable or reliable.

lol.. check out this... apparently you install alchemy and done.. EAX is on in Warhammer... even with the gray out option lol...

This sounds like a bunch of loadcrap... but oh well.. there is nothing better around to believe...
