There is considerable discussion of this "problem" on some thread at
www.nforcershq.com in the drivers forum.
I recall someone discovering that a particular setting in the Nvidia
soundstorm control panel will cause rear speakers to stop working with
winamp. I don't use winamp and thus do not recall the specific
setting of interest. Read up there and you may find your answer.

| Somewhere there is a break down as the nVidia site drivers wouldn't
| work on my system properly.. I don't know why. I tried the nVidia
| drivers again after reading this and I couldn't get WinAmp or games
to
| play the rear speakers on the 5.1 system.. frustrating.. I must be
| missing something 'painfully obvious'..
|
| However, now the sound coming through from all progs, sources etc
are
| 'crackly' like listening to a not tooo perfect vinyl LP on cheap
| speakers..
|
| Any ways to clean this up? My original install had perfect crisp
clear
| super sounds.. I can't see to get that back..
|
| Thanks for your input..
