Recently I've read an article "More Than A SoundBlaster". I've espacially noticed this: "Microsoft has developed new Aureal drivers that will be included with Windows XP. However, Microsoft only included basic functionality at best, which will not compare to the drivers and control panels that have been developed for the majority of sound cards today. " Since I'm willing to upgrade my system to Win XP, and I'm using Aureal Vortex 2 SQ2500 soundcart, I have a question, on wchich I couldn't find answer anywhere else. Plese help.
Does "basic functionality" means, that although advanced options (such as eq) are not included, FULL A3D 1.0/2.0 support is present ?

Best regards.

Don't worry about an answer. I'm sure Crashman will come by soon enough to give you some help. Anyways, I'm not sure if you went to the VortexOfSound website, but here's their page about this particular sound card and Windows XP.

In my experience, I currently have a 3-speaker system. And, for the mp3s and DVDs that play, it's pretty good. I hope that article answers some of your questions, though.

Full driver support but without the controll panel. Somebody has made a revised controll panel for XP and you can find all the downloads at <A HREF="http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/chris.day/vortexcpl.html" target="_new">http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/chris.day/vortexcpl.html</A>

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
