bug in sound device compatibilty/EAX bug in original bioshock - is it fixed in the remastred version?
i discovered a couple of years ago that the Recon3D Omega Wireless sound system was incompatible when using EAX (via Alchemy). essentially, doing so would cause a horrible static like sound to play over the other sounds.this was most noticable in the opening level (the plane crash). the cause NOT the headphones of the Recon3D. I setup my system to record outgoing audio (instead of outputting to the headphones, it was outputting to the recorder program) and when i listened to the .WAV file I made, the "static" was just asw present as ever.. I also had a X-FI Arena Sound USB head set, and when using Alchemy to enable EAX, the sound was perfect. I did contact 2k, and they concluded it was some kind of incompatibility with the game, but they had no plans for further patching of bioshock.

now that there is a remastered version out, ha the bug been fixed? I have only encounterd one other game with the same issue as i had in bioshock, and it was not anywhere near as bad as it was in bioshock
