I have been looking for info on this and haven't found anything.
Will the PC version of Bioshock support EAX?

i would imagine they will be using OpenAL for sound. i don't think EAX is going to survive.

I would guess, no. Since EAX is not available for the Xbox360, and designing two sound systems is kinda a waste of time when one is enough, no?
But anything is possible.

What sound API is in use on Xbox 360 ?
Surround system i presume, i don't think the game go to release whitout a 5.1 sound system on PC, probably Open AL hardware acceleration.

I was looking at the Creative webpage and it seems the PC version of Prey (had up to EAX5.0) used OpenAL.
Same publisher too, not that that matters...

That was more an engine thing than a publisher thing. By that point the doom 3 engine build had open al audio pathways. It is forced to have EAX libraries for legal reasons.
