devo estar enganado...mas como não vi nada a respeito da AUDIDY aqui na GAMESBRASIL vou botar aqui oq ja esta circulando na net:

Creative Technology Ltd. today announced the next-generation Audigy (TM)audio processor and EAX® ADVANCED HD(TM), two core elements of Creative's future audio developments. The new Audigy processor boasts four times the effects processing power of Creative Technology's famed EMU10K1 processor. According to Creative, its dedicated design makes it uniquely capable of executing the complex audio algorithms required to produce higher fidelity reverb and effects, as well as powering advanced 3D audio imaging for games, music and home studio productions.
The Audigy processor features a 32-bit Multi-Effects Engine, which accelerates Creative's new EAX ADVANCED HD software to enhance both gaming and music listening experiences. Creative says that gaming, EAX ADVANCED HD provides unprecedented realism by providing users the following features:
Multi-Environment(TM) -- Gamers can enjoy four simultaneous audio environments in real time;
Environment Morphing(TM) -- Provides a natural audio transition from one environment to another with real-time morphing of each environment's audio characteristics;
Environment Panning(TM) -- Enables gamers to hear the 3D spatialization and localization of an upcoming or distant environment;
Environment Reflections(TM) -- Allows the real-world phenomenon of sound bouncing off surfaces and returning to the gamer in full 3D;
Environment Filtering(TM) -- Utilizes high-pass audio filters to generate accurate simulation of sound from both indoor and outdoor environments.
For game developers, the EAX ADVANCED HD game audio library provides a compelling set of useful tools with support for Microsoft's Direct Sound® API, the OpenAL(TM) API, Dolby Digital® 5.1 mixing API and EAGLE 3.0 Graphical Librarian Editor.
There is quite a bit of additional information on the music and other abilities of the processor in the full press release. There is also quite a bit of additional information at www.soundblaster.com
Many of the features announced for EAX HD have been mentioned by Creative for quite some time. Even reflections were mentioned as a coming feature prior to their aquisition of Aureal's technology. It will be interesting to see which of these features end up with at least basic support in future Live drivers and if EAX HD will be a completely open API as per EAX. We will of course post more information as it comes available. In fact some of these questions may be answered on Creative's EAX HD pages but I have not had a chance to read them yet.
