I have a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 surround sound card. and there is something weird about it. whenever I activate the EAX audio feature I get this weird distorted sound and then often I get a poping noise, which sounds really crappy...does anyone know how I can get rid of this problem?

Someone's going to ask this. I guess it might as well be me. Did you update the drivers yet?

Heyyo,

I bet you're using windows xp right? well I read up on the creative site that you should change your ACPI Unimicroprocessor thing to ACPI Advanced power configuration or something like that, it worked for me... letme dig up the link...

Go to the windows troubleshooting, try the ACPI fix first, and if that fails then try disabling your HD's DMA mode... hopefully you won't have to disable DMA
