Why must we set EAX off when playing EAX games?

[9lives]

Creative said :

"I want to > play eax games > no effect"

why do we have to set it this way? then what is "normal effect" or "light effect" for?

You're not making much sense - at least not to me anyway!

The normal effects, are the same as no effects, which is the default. The light effects will reduce all the EAX effects in a game somewhat. If you look in the source tablet (in environmental audio). You can see that light effects reduce the reverb/chorus effects to 65%.

Have creative made a patch to solve this then??
With Dungeon Keeper 2, I use light effects and it sounds pretty good.

When are we gonna get Liveware 4.0??

Patch to solve what? It's working as intended, as far as I can see. &quot;No Effects&quot; just means: don't add any global reverb/chorus, etc, since the game will tell you where and when to do this on its own. (As compared to &quot;Play legacy game&quot; settings, where it basically adds &quot;metallic room&quot; reverb or some such to the WHOLE game, at ALL times).

what games are you talking about?

Ah I'm with it now.

If a game has its own EAX, then use that. Otherwise, you can set up your own effects for it.
