当年为了适应Windows Vista全新的音频架构，创新为旗下声卡开发了新型ALchemy(炼金术)辅助驱动，能够让声卡支持DirectSound3D游戏音频，提供EAX音效，可以说创新的初衷是好的，但过程却是一波三折。

先是对老用户收费，后来由于压力太大而不得不改为免费，可是免费之后更新速度也跟着慢了下来。如果说ALchemy是为了配合新操作系统，那在微软发布Windows 7之后，创新就应该及时跟进推出新版本，但创新没有，它让用户“等”，而这一等就是将近一年（ALchemy的上个版本1.25.10是2009.3月份发布的）。

不管怎么样，创新于今日在其官方主页上发布了新版ALchemy(炼金术)辅助驱动1.41.00，具体更新包括：

1、增加对Windows 7系统的支持

2、使DirectSound3D游戏音频经Sound Blaster音频设备处理，实现EAX音效、空间化3D音频、采样率转换和硬件音频混音。如果未经此处理，绝大部分DirectSound3D游戏将只能输出不带任何EAX效果的普通立体声

3、改善了Sound Blaster音频设备的3D音频处理性能
