 In [[Windows Vista]] the Direct3D interface of [[DirectX]], which is used by EAX, has been removed. Since AoD uses solely EAX - while installing AoD it is automatically installed, too - it won't work any more.
-Creative has created a project, that develops a program named [[ALchemy]], which routs the output of EAX to [[OpenAL]] instead of Direct3D. Both interfaces can produce the same effects. Thus it is a so called "wrapper". (Similar to [[Glidos]], a Wrapper that redirects the old [[3dfx]]-Glide-commands of [[TR1]] to DirectX in Windows.)

 However OpenAL is at the moment only supported on Creative X-Fi sound cards, and it is uncertain if there will ever be some kind of software (not dependent on hardware acceleration but OpenAL implemented within the sound driver) for other sound cards like it has been with EAX and Direct3D. Until then you need Windows XP/2000 to play AoD if you don't have a X-Fi card.

It enables these games to play back sound as realistic as possible e.g. by distributing noises to the corresponding speakers of a 5.1 surround system.
