Description:

Originally developed for the NASA Virtual Environment Workstation for use in their astronaut training programs, Aureal's A3D is the de facto standard for 3D audio on over 3 million PCs. A3D puts the listener in the 3D environment, making sounds appear to come from any direction--left and right, front and back, top and bottom--giving gamers a decided advantage over their opponents. The Vortex2 PCI accelerates Aureal's new A3D 2.0, the most advanced 3D positional audio available. A3D 2.0 features Aureal Wavetracing technology, which includes Doppler, acoustic reflection, reverb, and occlusion to render lifelike audio based upon the actual acoustics of a 3D environment.
