One other thing I can think of -- if you have some kind of CRSS or other 3D sound expansion turned on in the driver and are using 3D sound in the game this can cause things to sound a bit funky.

That was it!! CRSS and the 3D sound setting in the game were competing against each other causing all of the issues. Not only did changing that fix the sound... but the game is not crashing every time I exit either!! Thanks!

So everything else sounds right, just not CoX? Other games, videos, music, etc.?

Creative's drivers for Vista are less than stellar. IIRC there is a 3rd party developer of Vista drivers for Audigy series, but off the top of my head I don't remember the name of them. They are said to give you much better performance under Vista, but again, I've never heard of any problems like you've described.

Yep.. I play Dungeon Runners as well and that sounds just like it always did.. music... everything so far sounds good.

I installed Vista Home Premium on my machine here about a week ago and everything has been running pretty well except for CoH.

I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS and the sound was terrible! Made sure my drivers were updated (even cleaned and did it again) and no dice. Did some research and found the issue with 3D sound and what not so went out and got Alchemy for the Audio and installed it. Set the game up inside of it and even played around with inserting it also into subdirectories. Now although I have "3D sound" now... it is horrible! Now when I play the sound has way too much bass... only way I can describe it is the sound you get when sitting at a stoplight and some ricer pulls along side you with his radio up and bass cranked...

Are there tweaks I need to do in order to get Alchemy to make my sound at least close to what it once was?
