Yes.
I have the X-Fi fatality and it works perfect for my 29 year old Casio keyboard thanks to supporting MIDI. So I can play my chip music directly into cubase and use all the new VSTs.

Sound quality is nice on those X-Fi cards and you have the same ports as me.

This might not be /vr/ topic related but it's better to answer than to be a douche bag.

Try using /g/ next time though.

Creative added support for Windows 10 not long ago and I tested mine just days ago and it works.
but DirectSound isn't part of Windows so EAX is emulated instead of hardware run like it should.

You can still get hardware sound through OpenAL, with EAX and everything. For old apps that don't use it, you can use alchemy which works by wrapping DirectSound to OpenAL. This might confuse some people because alchemy will still work if you don't have hardware openal and will use software instead.

>>3759216
Yes, forgot to bring up OpenAL even though I always Alchemy installed it after Vista.

Silly me.

Also, don't forget to install Console Launcher, since it's a separate installer so you can swap between the modes.
It's prone to crashing when you swap I heard. I didn't get any luckily.

>>3759217
Yeah, I've found alchemy doesn't use hardware openal unless you're in game mode.

What about Aureal 3D

Found this.

Gonna read this and be sad again that DirectSound is gone.

>>3759231
There's no proper solution for A3D support on modern systems. Unless you're running windows 98 and with an aureal card.

>>3759236
Up to WinXP you mean.

>>3759237
While its possible, the XP drivers suck and sound horrible. Dont use them.

>>3759239
Yeah, you'll get a really bad idea of what A3D sounds like if you use XP.

>>3759203
i try /g go to the waste in 3 hours

>>3759173
If you have actual MIDI equipment to use, yes.

If not, you are better off saving for an external amp that connects via spdif or hdmi.

>>3759239
What about ReactOS?

I'd wager it likely is!

Well, at at least if you're up to digging up some sort of special retro controller, cause it's got a gameport.

Or if you like Console RPGs or other such slowish paced games, those should work very neatly with a remote like that.
