Fixes:

Enables the DirectSound3D game audio to be processed by your Sound Blaster audio device to deliver EAX effects, 3D audio spatialization, sample rate conversion and hardware audio mixing. Without this, most DirectSound3D games will be reduced to stereo output without any EAX effects. Improves 3D audio processing for host-based Sound Blaster audio devices.

Requirements:

Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows Vista 32-bit with SP2, Creative audio product listed above.

Notes:

Do not install this application if you do not play DirectSound3D games in Windows 7 or Windows Vista. To find out more about Creative ALchemy or view the list of DirectSound3D games supported, Check the link here.

to get it. If it hasn't been updated for your card yet, just select a different card ( I know it is listed under the X-Fi Xtreme Music) and get it from there.
