These are two different architectures. "GFX" as implemented on XP is not supported on Vista but the System Effect Infrastructure on Vista allows driver based Local and Global effect APO insertions into the audio pipeline.

Only for USB audio devices. But http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/audio/wavertport.mspx said, GFX can be tied to WaveRT driver in Vista. Does anybody know more about that: Does GFX exist on Vista? Is GFX not only for USB, but also for HD audio? Is there any difference between GFX on XP and GFX on Vista? Thanks so much.
