Personally I turn on acceleration and EAX... everything is ok then. (well except the crackling)

EDIT: I thought you had a creative... anyway try those on.

hey thx for the fast reply, did already try it out, but then i always have the sound as if someone is flushing the toilet all the time and also no rear speakers.

i also decreased the acceleration at dxdiag to zero, but didn't help...

Hmmmm, flushing the toilet (bn880 runs to listen to a toilet... not) I think if you try switching from external to internal view in a vehicle your sound will be better.

As for the rear speaker...? Strange if you hear it in windows properly. Make sure to go to windows sound setup and check if 5.1 speakers are really selected.

thx, checked and it says speaker setup: 5.1 speakers

i have 5.1 sound and it is only activated if the Hardware Acc is on. did you configure your speakers so they sound equal from the front and back?

thx bn880 & stewart,

i tried it with just acceleration on and it didn't help either (tank coming from behind was louder in front speakers as in rear speakers), but u'r right. i started ofp whilst running that 5.1 test program and then tried it and now it works. either i always have to start it that way or decrease the acceleration

thx for the help
