The kX Project Audio Driver does not support standard EAX gaming, but there are DSP effects for EAX, EAX 3, and EAX 4. The newset kX beta driver has very good ASIO latency improvement. On my system 1.3 GHz 512 MB DDR Ram, I get clear sound when playing soundfonts standalone with SFMan (http://driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=72913 or download from: http://zvukovacz.hammersound.net/) or in a Sequencer using the kX Synth.

I'd say give kX a try, if you dont mind being without standard EAX support. Try out the DSP EAX effects and see if it's what youre looking for. When using kX and playing EAX games that have no surround option (such as 3D suround), but has a EAX option, select the EAX option and from the kX icon in the taskbar, right click it and select Settings/Driver Compatibility and check mark Filter All EAX Requests. See how you like this setup for gaming?
