3D Sound (EAX 4.0) in Hitman: Codename 47
03D Sound w/ reverb sound effects using EAX 4.0 (Creative ALchemy), Spatial Audio, on Hitman: Codename 47, released in 2000
The Environmental Audio Extensions (or EAX) are a number of digital signal processing presets for audio, present in Creative Technology Sound Blaster sound cards starting with the Sound Blaster Live and the Creative NOMAD/Creative ZEN product lines. Due to the release of Windows Vista which deprecated the DirectSound3D API EAX was based on in 2007, Creative discouraged EAX implementation in favor of its OpenAL-based EFX equivalent – though at that point relatively few games used the API.
