ahoy

all my games that run normal stereo or mono, works 100%. but once i enable AEX for surround sound, when ever a sound gets created in a speaker, its a LOUD scratchy noise. almost as if its distorting....whats up? and another thing, when i enable it, my audio software resets to 2 speaker mode, when its surposed to stay on 5.1 speaker mode. why does it do this?

i got the winfast audio card....

leadtek winfast 6xsound , dolby digital ac-3 , dts , 5.1 , eax + spdif ( coaxial & optical ) in/out

whats up with it?
all my games. ie : NFS HP 2, Mafia, UT 2K3. whats going on?

you'all have a good day now

my sb audigy does this sometimes too... the first thing i can think of is to try updating the drivers if you can, if not even try just uninstalling the ones you have and reinstalling them

but is this a comman problem with EAX?

i dont' think it's a common problem with eax itself, some drivers run eax flawlessly from what i can tell, others are buggy like the problems you described, so i'd think it's more of a driver / os compatibility problem

I have lived with this problem ever since i got my new sound card. I think the drivers are crap.

ok. i uninstalled the old drivers, and reinstalled them. but the problem is still there. i just downloaded the new drivers for XP. lets hope on a wing and prayer that this works. will let you know tomorrow. later

by the way
sorry about the last two posts. did not mean to post it twice

and YES. the new drivers work
i got the 6xSound card from Winfast....here are the drivers for that

I hope this solves a lot of problems.....
as for the SBA cards, i'll have a look out for those

good luck
