How to get the Xaudio2 backend?

I've seen on the wiki that it works better for certain games. But where do you download it from?

Choose the backend in the DSP section?

You don't have to download it. Go into DSP/Backend Settings. You can choose either DSound either XAudio

FYI, if you're on Mac OS X, there is no XAudio2. (Probably wouldn't help, anyway - CoreAudio is usually flawless as far as DSP HLE goes.) On Linux you have a bunch of audio backends to pick n' choose from - I dunno if XAudio2 is one of them.

Dsound and Xaudio are each reliant on their own part of DirectX. DirectX isn't available on anything except windows.

He is either on Linux or Windows; Mac OS X isn't possible with an AMD chip unless he hackintosh'd it, in which case I think he would understand that "X" or "D" something is generally Windows based.

Well he listed windows 7 in the OS section of his profile page so I'm pretty sure he's using that.

*facepalm*

Overlooked the OS to determine his OS based on CPU... intelligence at its finest.
