Bass redirection solution for SoundBlasters in Vista

[Guest Carlos]

Bass redirection is that beautiful feature that allows you send all the rich

sounding lower frequencies to that ".1" speaker making those bass sounds deep

and giving music you know, that "punch".

From the very start with their Vista drivers, CreativeLabs crippled their

control panels in the sense that the "bass redirection" option was no longer

available.

Lower frequencies were sent to the other tiny 5 speakers tending to give a

"flat" sound.

I've been searching for a solution for many months.

The workaround, not the subject of this post, I had until today was mapping

the speakers in Media Player Classic.

Today I found this CreativeLabs application in their Vista forums that did

the trick

for the lower priced SB 24bit, Audigy SE, Audigy LE and probably others (try

it at your own risk).

It worked for me.

Windows Media Player can now play the mp3's with full bass sound!

Enjoy.
