Hi, everybody!

I wanted to celebrate my Christmas gift (7.1 surround system) so I plugged it in, painstakingly, and I turned on EAX Sound from Creative Labs. My speakers are also Creative, so I figured there would be no problems.

Wrong-O!

The sound seems... well... broken up. I guess I should say that the sounds don't mix like they should. So instead of hearing

*Saber hum, blaster fire, defection, saber swing, music all together*

I hear

*Sab-* *Blas-* *De-* *Swi-* *music*

uh... I can support this, my computer's all set up for Surround. So what's the deal, here?

Say hello to Raven's shoddy EAX implementation...

Best thing to do is pretend the option doesn't exist...

I've never heard of a sound problem like that before. :p

the 1.01 patch is supposed to improve EAX support right? Why isnt it "improving" it already? Also, have you ensured you got the latest sound drivers from Creative?

I do. And to be safe, I downloaded them again. Nothing. It's all broken-up like usual.

What kind of video sound card is it? There are a lot of 7.1 cards on the market.

lol, i think you mean sound card not video card :p

Im sure the prices of the Audigy 2s should drop after the release of the new Creative X-Fi's. Go grab one of them, you should be ok after that.
