Tip: Boost performance in vista (directsound workaround)

[Sc]

Without turning you're sound off.I've seen it stated many times in this part of the forum that Vista does not support directsound anymore, and its just openAL, which is true, and forces you to run legacy programs via software, which is slower.If you use an X-Fi or Audigy sound card you should be able to get a performance boost by using Creative Labs 'Alchemy Program'.Alchemy converts directsound calls in Vista into openAL and sends them to your audio hardware, where it was intended to run.You can find it on the soundblaster website ( <a href="http://www.soundblaster.com/alchemy/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.soundblaster.com/alchemy/</a> )
