ASUS Xonar HDAV Slim

6.8 DS3D GX and DSP Modes

Xonar HDAV Slim is introducing an innovative technology –DirectSound 3D Game

Extensions v1.0 (DS3D GX 1.0)- to restore DirectSound 3D Hardware acceleration

mode and its subsidiary EAX effects on Windows Vista for 3D games. Unlike 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 HDAV Center, and disable the function

after the games.

Supports latest DS3D GX 2.0 for gaming on Vista & XP

DS3D GX 2.0 not only revives EAX and DirectSound HW effects, but also

allows you to run EAX HD 5.0 games on both XP and Vista. It provides the best

compatibility with existing DirectX games. GX2.0 also adds innovative VocalFX

voice effects for existing EAX games or VOIP applications.

Besides the abundant sound effects described above, the Xonar HDAV Slim also

provides quick Digital Sound Processing modes which are congured for typical

applications including Music, Movies, and Games over different output speaker

types. In addition, Xonar HDAV Slim also offers a Hi-Fi mode for hi-delity playback

without any effect processing to keep the original audio delity. Every time you turn

on Hi-Fi mode, Xonar HDAV 1 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 as the quick setup if you

don’t wish to know the details of the effect setup. (Note: no sound effects will be

applied to high-denition 96KHz/192KHz content.)
