Hi!
    I would like to open this thread so Developers of drivers for the Xonar have a common place to look at, I found this Sound card Amazing, Even if this GX setting werent included at all, I belive this is the best Sound Card i have ever listened to, but As this setting exists, and have a lot of problems with older software, It will be really good for the Asus owners; AND FUTURE ones for you  to solve this problems as you did with BioShock.-

For newbies, DS3D-GX Setting on the latest driver update let you "emulate" EAX 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 settings, on Xonar cards, but as this requires an "emulator" to work, as every other emulator, "emulation is NOT PERFECT, but if we share the problems we have, MAYBE the developers can find a solution to all this "little" problems, and have TRUE EAX Emulation in all of our games/Aplications.-

No further talking, here is the list that does not work when you select DS3D-GX On Vista X64 Drivers

List of Games/App, that cause a Blue screen with cmudaxp (DS3D-GX Enable)

Games:
Colin McRae Rally 3.0
Colin McRae Rally 4.0
Colin McRae Rally 5.0
Max Payne
Fable
Sega Rally

Applications:
ffdshow

List of Not working, quiting to windows, or Not able to select EAX Settings.-.-

Oblivion (quiting to windows)
Prince of Persia - the Two Thrones (base.dll missing) Replacing Base.dll, and detectionapi.dll from Warrior Within Fix the problem.-
Street Racing Sindicate (Not able to select EAX Settings)
BioShock (quiting to windows)
Juiced (Not able to select EAX Settings)
megaman 8 (quiting to windows), Direct Sound Error

Mass Effect (missing Sounds; No 5.1)
battelfield 2 (poping on XP and no support on vista 32)

I will be watching this thread daily, so I update my list with your results!

Hope somebody think this is a good idea, and have some feedback from developers!
Thanks to all!

Well, sending the list to Asus support has been proven useless.  I sent a tech sup request back in March regarding Conflict Denied Ops and Front Lines Fuel of War failing to launch with the card and got nothing but the response of "we are working on it".  Mean while, it has been almost 3 months since I bought the games........

Here at least people will know what games are incompatible instead of wasting their time to troubleshoot......

Are you still having problems with bioshock?

There was a patch for that put out by asus.

I am running Xp64, and it plays fine.

Although, if I enable eax 5, I get a hissing sound from the speakers, which just sux (but not as bad as an X-FI).
