Realtek 3D SoundBack

Playing computer games is perhaps the most popular pastime for the majority of PC users since many years ago. As it may happen with any software application, games may break down or function with limited parameters on some systems. When these issues affect the sound, it may completely ruin the experience.

A solution for those who have to face this type of problems and are still using Windows Vista is Realtek 3D SoundBack. As the name suggests, this utility is designed to restore all the features for legacy game titles.

The simple interface makes it very easy for everyone to work with this utility and the way in which it works is really straightforward. All the user has to do is add the games to the list in the main window of Realtek 3D SoundBack and set the status to 'Enable' in order to fully enjoy the in-game sounds.

Among the sound effects that this application can restore and make available while playing thew favorite games are surround sound, spatiality as well as reverberation. The restoration of these effects is done automatically, without requiring any intervention from the user, other than activating Realtek 3D SoundBack for every title included on the list.

Adding the items in the game database is a very easy task because all one has to do is write the game name, choose its location on disk and optionally adjust the buffer settings. The range of supported maximum and lowest buffer sizes is detailed in the 'Game Information' area, but leaving the default values will be the safest bet.

Given its ease of use, Realtek 3D SoundBack is certainly well suited for all users, but the fact that it targets only the Windows Vista platform restricts a lot the number of its potential users.
