According to the above website:
Beware of the following A3D Imitations: These sound cards claim to emulate A3D, but are
not based on genuine A3D technology. These products are not endorsed by Aureal in any
way. They feature fake A3D drivers that route calls from A3D games to host CPU based
DirectSound3D algorithms. Such drivers may result in A3D game compatibility problems,
drop in frame rates, drop in 3D quality, loss of audio and generally unpredictable sound
behavior in A3D applications. Consequently, Aureal strongly advises against using these
products for purposes of playing A3D games: AW300
A3D Imitation-beware!
SoundBlaster Live!
A3D Imitation-beware!
That means we are out of luck with the SoundBlaster Live!?
