I downed b&white from DC and installed it.....did the setup and it install all the reg files and then injected all the other files....the i turned on the game....I NOTICED THAT IT HAD NO SOUND...well i just thought that it was the game tili turned the game off and still had no sound.....I then checked my speakers...got the old ones out and put them on....nada....then install the new drivers from SB and ......nada.....I started to freek...uninstalled SB and the game and reinstalled SB i got soundreinstalled the game......got no sound...til i took a chance and looked at my speaker setup...it was in two speaker mode and i have aq 4.1 setup...my speakers never work in 2 speaker mode....alot of running around and alot of freeking out...for nothing

I have heard of this problem, don't know why but sometimes the speakers reset to the standard stereo setup.

i have simular probs with the Live!...it goes weird every now and then...time to get something new...Creative are starting to really bother me...

glad u fingered it out.... i love my nForce 420D.... Dolby Digital 5.1 build in... no problems yet.

I have never had that happen myself, but, I am in the market for a new sound card and the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz is awesome from what I have read (from a lot of people that have them). They're a little steep (around $70 on Pricewatch the last time I looked). But supposedly they're much better than Creative's. I'll let you know... Any opinions?

I think if you have your speakers set for 4 speakers in windows control as well as in the SB mixer you can avoid this problem.
