Though I do like using a seperate sound card I am not too crazy about Creative due to their driver and control panel installation. Made the mistake to install everything that came on the support disk with the card.
Now, if necessary, all I install is their driver and alchemy, downloaded from their website, and leave all the other bloat.

No, not using Alchemy, i'll give it a go. Thanks.

i think the issue is with my 5.1 setup. Never had an issue before. Personally i've never had a issue with Creative and their drivers.. i know a lot of people complain about them, guess I've been lucky. I don't install all the crap that comes with them.. just driver & control panel.

With the new beta I have lost the ability to change any sound settings.
I still have the 3 sliders at the top, but no ability to change the type of speaker setup etc.. is this correct for all?
Or is it something wrong at my end?

you can't change it

Thanks for clearing that up.. Thought it was a problem with my install!..

Just for everyone's information, they changed the sound engine to FMOD which is used in alot of other games. If it works the same as it does in other games, it uses the same speaker configuration set in windows.
