Hey guys,

I have a SBLive! 5.1 Surround sound, and if I go into sound properties (in control panel) and change it to 5.1, all works well, until I load Half Life 2 or CS:Source.

Then I dont have sound...

I believe I have the latest drivers, but I will look for a new release. Any other suggestions!?

Thanks guys,
Scott

Anyone else have this problem, and find a fix, or what the problem is?

Have you set the HL2 to use 5.1 in the game options? Does the sound work at all?

when I switch to 5.1 in control panel, it switches it in the game for me... (odd). And if its desktop speakers... and i load the game and switch it to 5.1 (ingame) I get no sound.

No sound either way i do it... thanks for the response
