What it is
----------
This is a program I made that I called Velbac. It is used to send audio from a Creative soundcard to another soundcard.

Supported source sound cards
-------------------------------
The Creative soundcard can be any of them that support "what you hear" through ASIO. I think that the only exception is a Sound Blaster Live 24-bit because it uses a different architecture. It will work with SoundBlaster Live!, Audigy, Audigy 2 and X-Fi.

Why use it
-----------
One use of this program is to get EAX support on a soundcard that does not support it. To do that, you :
- Configure the default audio playback device of Windows to the Creative sound card.
- Use Velbac to send the audio from the Creative sound card to another sound card.

This way, you can have EAX support and send to a card that has higher quality outputs or hardware AC3 encoding.

The drawback is some added audio latency.

Wow that's really cool. I wonder if you can use DDL with the soundblaster if the other card supports it.

How bad is the latency though?

If it isn't too bad, it could take away Creatives edge.
