In any game where I enabled EAX or EAX 2... The game has a possibility of later making a sundden "stutter" noise and go blue for a split second and restart my computer. This only happens with EAX... it will not do this with dobly surround or miles or anyhting else. This sound card I have is Sound Blaster Live! 5.1. And it supports EAX and EAX 2 as it says. How do I fix this it is really frustraiting as EAX sound awsome. My sound card, BIOS, and gfz card are updated to the lastest drivers! Please help me so I can get cool EAX! Intel Pentium 4 2.6Ghz w/ HT and 800Mhz fbs. 512MB DUAL CHANNEL SDRAM ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB DDR 120GB HD Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 4.1 Altec Lansing Surround Sound Speakers w/ subwofe

My brother has the same card. He hasnt had any EAX or EAX2 problems though. Have you tried running the creative diagnostic program. This can be helpfull when testing for faults or restoring any changed settings to default. However if the games are crashing when EAX is enabled may suggest a faulty product. Im assuming your using a 5.1 speaker setup, who are your speaker manufactured by?
