Applying Effects to the Game Sound (3D Reverb)
DirectSound is one of the elements which make up Microsoft DirectX. It minimizes
delay of the sound, and allows it to playback with the best possible audio quality.
By using DirectX compatible software on a computer in which DirectX has been
installed, you can enjoy high-performance games with excellent expressiveness.
The UA-100 supports DirectSound, allowing game sound effects to sound in syn-
chronization with the on-screen action, and provides powerful and dynamic
sound even through small speakers. Since multiple sound sources such as back-
ground music and sound effects can be mixed smoothly, it is extremely suitable
for games.
