Tribes Vengance requires a sound card to be a DirectX®-compatible sound card. What does "DirectX®-compatible sound card" mean? Is this a microsoft software based sound only? Is there a sound card that provides a harware solution to relieve system overhead for DirectX? Maybe a card that does acceleration for DirectX.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

That's damn near every sound solution made. DirectX is simply a driver compatability- really it just means that it's compatable with windows, because windows uses Directsound (part of DirectX) for sound.
Which version of DirectX® does the game require?gsparesa said:
Some older sound cards do not fully support the version of DirectSound® included in newer versions of DirectX®. Thus, if your game requires DirectX® 8 or later, you may not hear some sounds correctly if you're still stuck with an old sound card.

DirectSound and DirectSound3D haven't been updated for several generations of DirectX- the latest revisions of DirectX have all been mostly graphics focused.
