M2N32 SLI Sound issues

[redbeardeddevil]

Well for some reason I can not log on to the ftp site. It is blocking me. I don't care if it has DTS or not. I will not by another Creative product after that business with Daniel_K so I am stuck with onbaord sound until I find a card in my price range with my features. So I am looking for updated drivers for this sorry replacement for SoundStorm.

My problem is I can not load the soundmax setup wizard to even get to the menu with the hammer. I am stuck with a 2 channel set-up instead of 5.1. I have reloaded the software to no avail. all the speakers will function on a test, but any applications are only using 2 channel, any ideas?

Here's my 2 cents.
Here' Link

You can also get 2.1 Audio out from SoundMAX by installing SoundMAX with 5.1 Audio > control panel > sound > right click the speakers > setup > next > remove the check mark from 'Rear speakers' and finish the set up.

Matrix on mixer will then be R 1, L 1, C 1, Sub/LFE 1 and rear 0's.

(btw, there was quite sad bug on drivers not long ago check the topic for Sonic Focus fixes which affects all drivers, atm, on Vista systems)
