I'm using a Realtek ALC655 (AC97) onboard sound chip on my nForce2 board with the latest drivers, and when I enable EAX (EAX2 and 3) the EAX seems to work for everything in the menus, including the music, and during the intro when you start a new game, but the EAX effects of unit replies (a sort of 3D sound with echo) cut out randomly and resort to the standard 2D sound quality, then return. EAX (EAX2 at least) has worked perfectly in games like Neverwinter Nights and Call of Duty in the past on this card.
Specs, if relevant:
Windows XP fresh install with SP1, no Windows Updates
AthlonXP Barton @ 2.3GHz
ATI-built 9800 Pro, third-party Catalyst 5.11 drivers
512MB DDR400 (dual-channel)
nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset on Gigabyte-built mainboard, latest drivers from nVIDIA
AC97 audio chip, latest drivers from Realtek
Any one else having this trouble with EAX, on any config?
Using Civ4 v1.09.
