Missing sounds with x-fi card?? I was playing arma coop mission online earlier with a buddy of mine. He has an asus zonar D2 pci soundcard and I have the x-fi xtreme gamer. We both have mid-high end home audio systems we run our cards into. Three examples... We were driving down the road in a humvee and he asked if I could hear him beeping the horn. I couldnt... We were being shot up while sitting in a vehicle and the only thin I could hear was some faint thumping and the sound of the tires air being let out from being shot. He could here all that plus the sound of the bullets whizzing by and hittting the vehicle. Another time he commented on the cows and sheep he could hear mooing and bahhing or whatever on the hill next to us. I could hear none of this. He even pressed his mic button and I was surprised at how much was goin on,the sheep, several cows mooing, and even birds chirping in which I could hear none of on my end. I have heard all of these sounds before in game. Before I heard all of the above mentioned, I never suspected there was anything wrong with my sound because it sounded phenomenal. But, on the other hand, he is the one running the server. His dsl connection is shit (around 1.5m) and causes lag on my end. Could it possibly be a lag issue? I mean its been proven that the x-fi series cards are by far dominate for gaming. The asus shouldnt be outperforming an x-fi card in this manner. Using the A.C.E. advanced combat mod that comes with its own sound mod btw

I havent run arma 2 in awhile, I believe the last time I ran it was before 9.10 drivers were released. I just updated to 9.12. But with both drivers,(9.10/9,12)fps drops while in crossfire. For ex. before, I used to get around 40 to 60 fps in the menu in crossfire. Crossfire turned off, fps would drop about 15fps. Now, with both crossfire, I get about a 5 to 10 fps drop from when using just a single gpu. I read through the forums and have seen no other posts about this issue.

Arma/Arma 2 were the best sounding games ive ever heard, they sounded amazing in 5.1 when i was runnin vista, but now that ive installed windows 7 ultimate, arma 2 only plays back in stereo. Have checked all sound settings in control panel and in in my creative console launcher...everthing is setup for 5.1 playback. Any ideas?
