UT2004 X-FI-Patch. Missing Reverbs, Occlusion ....

Question

Is anyone else missing EAX-features ? When another player shoots behind a wall i can hear it as clearly as there would be no wall and not muffled at all. And i hear no reverb, every room sounds the same. Besides the new weapon-sounds, they?re rumbling
e and thundering with reverb and echo like in a huge valley even when you are in a x x meter small room.
OMG

"Darragh O'Toole: X-Fi is so powerful that it's unlikely that we will see another chip of its kind in the next few years. What you can look out for though are X-Fi products that cater for different bus types and form factors over the next year."
Well yeah, let?s hope they can release a pci-e card soon. Im 00% sure that manu of the pci-bus issues would vanish away with pci-e cards!!
"Maxim Liadov: Why is there no name for Creative's hardware 3D sound, unlike Sensaura and QSound?
Darragh O'Toole: There is! The actual brand name for it is CMSS-3D, Creative Multi Speaker Surround-3D, this then has sub components including CMSS-3D Headphone, for surround sound over stereo headphones and stereo listening enhancement CMSS-3D Virtual, for surround from 2 speakers and CMSS-3D Interacti've, for 3D audio in-games."
WHY IS IT THEN THAT WHENEVER MANY OF US USE CMSS3D, THE SOUND GET?S TERRIBLE. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH CMSS3D HARDWARE API!
