ASUS Xonar Essence STX 

Xonar Essence STX is introducing an innovative technology –DirectSound 3D 

Game Extensions v1.0 (DS3D GX 1.0)- to restore DirectSound 3D Hardware 

acceleration mode and its subsidiary EAX effects on Windows Vista for 3D games. 

Unlike some proprietary API like OpenAL, DS3D GX doesn’t require games to 

support OpenAL API. All existing games compatible with Microsoft DirectX and 

DirectSound 2D/3D will be supported with DS3D GX technology. Before you start 

EAX and DS3D HW games, enable DS3D GX on the Xonar Audio Center, and 

disable the function after the games.
Supports latest DS3D GX 2.0 for gaming on Vista & XP

DS3D GX 2.0 not only revives EAX and DirectSound HW effects, but also 

allows you to run EAX HD 5.0 games on both XP and Vista. It provides the best 

compatibility with existing DirectX games. GX2.0 also adds innovative VocalFX 

voice effects for existing EAX games or VOIP applications.
Besides the abundant sound effects described above, the Xonar Essence STX 

also provides quick Digital Sound Processing modes which are configured for 

typical applications including Music, Movies, and Games over different output 

speaker types. In addition, Xonar Essence STX also offers a Hi-Fi mode for hi-

fidelity playback without any effect processing to keep the original audio fidelity. 

Every time you turn on Hi-Fi mode,  Xonar HDAV 1 will clear all sound effects. It’s 

also recommended to use Hi-Fi mode for audio quality tests (using RMAA software 

or another machine-based measurement). Use the DSP mode button as the quick 

setup if you don’t wish to know the details of the effect setup. (Note: no sound 

effects will be applied to high-definition 96KHz/192KHz content.)
