>> So when I heard "Unreal" on the EAX system, my honest reaction was: "Sounds the same to me, except with a subwoofer." After all the build up, I was kind of disappointed. I'm sure other people may have been very impressed by it, but it was not the mind-altering sonic euphoria I was expecting<<

Very disappointing. Was DirectX 5 or 6 being used, this is important, as I think the EAX extensions are more fully implemented in DX6 and I do recall (I've been trying to locate the article for the last hour) reading that MS (and I think with some urging by Creative) has delayed upgrading DirectMusic (and I think DirectSoud3D as well). This may or may not have accounted for your disappointing impression.

Your focus is mostly towards 3D positional sound (Directsoud3D/A3D), what of Interactive Music (Direct Music)? Do you have any impression in this regard?

Chip, there must be some way we can show our appreciation for your efforts???
