Hey I have a Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer 5.1 and I recently picked up the Logitech z-640 5.1 speakers. I believe I have everything in the sound blaster drivers/program set up correctly but I still only get static and obnoxious noises whenever I attempt to play anything using 5.1. All other sound works perfect and the speaker test gives me the correct sounds on each speaker/channel. Is there something I'm missing in enabling 5.1? I have tried that new NIN re-release of Downward Spiral in 5.1 and the Boondock Saints DVD in 5.1. Both give me loud static and noises over the "real" sounds I should be hearing. Any ideas?
