ASUS Xonar D2X
6.9 DS3D GX and DSP Modes
Xonar D2X 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, please enable DS3D GX on the Xonar D2X audio center, and disable the
function after the games.
Besides the abundant sound effects described above, the Xonar D2X also
provides quick Digital Sound Processing modes which are congured for typical
applications including Music, Movies, and Games over different output speaker
types. In addition, Xonar D2X 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 D2X 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-denition 96KHz/192KHz content.)
