Software
BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro for PC
Powerful and fully customizable BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro for PC, based on our rich history of creating class-leading audio algorithms, powers the Sound BlasterX G1 to deliver various audio enhancements for optimized gameplay.
Available for Windows®, the fully customizable BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro gives you unprecedented control over your listening experience with audio realism and immersive audio effects that intelligently decreases distractions and enhances game play. From the whizz of bullets flying past your ear in your favorite FPS game to the terrifying roar of a troll from an adventure title, the essence of your game comes alive with our professionally tweaked enhancements!
X-Plus Mode
Only when combined with the Sound BlasterX H5, this mode allows you to change the sound signature of the H5 headset when it's connected to the G1 soundcard on a hardware level for an unfair advantage over your opponents through our ever expanding list of supported games!
X-Plus mode accentuates the audio for things that really do matter in a competitive game while playing down emphasis on things that do not. Hear footsteps, gun shots and other audio cues clearer and better without the distraction of ambient noises.
Best of all, the settings are programmed straight to the G1 so you can enjoy this setting wherever the tournament is without having to worry about software installations while on the go.
X-Plus Configurator
For competitive gaming? Use the X-Plus Configurator to program the G1 with a sound signature designed specifically for your game.
The unique sound settings are programmed into the G1 so you have the added advantage wherever the tournament is without having to worry about software installations while on the go.
Scout Mode
Activate Scout Mode to give yourself a distinct tactical advantage! This tried and tested technology enhances important in-game audio cues — such as footsteps and weapon switching sounds -- allowing you to quickly and accurately pinpoint your opponents' location before they pinpoint yours!

Hardware Asylum
...and the Creative Sound BlasterX Pro-Gaming G1 is a God send. Gone is the anemic stereo sound to be replaced with a full spectrum sound stage with full 5.1 interpolated effects.I would imagine most readers have an enthusiast level PC with a solid sound source already. For users on the go the Creative Sound BlasterX Pro-Gaming G1 is exactly what you need for bringing that same sound with you. It's simply small enough to fit in my Brainwavez case and powerful enough to make you smile.
