EQ2 uses the <a href="http://www.radgametools.com/miles.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Miles Sound System</a> to handle audio. Currently it looks like <a href="http://www.radgametools.com/msssdk.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Miles supports up to EAX 4.</a> So, my guess is that it won't be an option until Miles adds support for EAX 5. This is probably complicated because Microsoft removed the audio hardware support from DirectSound3D in Vista, but it does support OpenAL. Creative has beta software called <a href="http://preview.creativelabs.com/alchemy/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Creative ALchemy</a> that translates DirectSound functions to OpenAL. I think there are some threads in the tech forums from Vista users about it. Othesus - Dirge - Lucan DLere Vaspar - Fury - Lucan DLere
