X-Fi Extreme Audio Not Working - 7.1

I have recently bought a new computer and all of the slots are PCIE. On my older computer I had PCI slots, not PCIE and I used to get the 3d Sound - Enabled..

I installed a PCIE x1 X-Fi Extreme Audio Sound card and I do not get the 3d sound in City Of Heroes. On my old computer with the Xtreme game X-fi card I would get the 3d sound, this new one, which is supposed to be better with "PCIE" it does not work. Why?

Under the options menu for graphics and audio the 3d Sound is greyed and says "N/A". I have checked and double checked everything I am supposed to. I also ran the verify files button on the COH launcher. It just will not run.

Any help is appreciated.

I am on a Win 7 64 bit system.
The card is Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio "PCIE" card.
Speakers - Creative 8 speakers, 7.1 sound.

Because, in their infinite wisdom, the devs disabled 3D Sound in I18 for Windows Vista and Windows 7. The disabled the DS3D component for these OSs without an OpenAL replacement. You have to us ALchemy for 3D Sound to work.

Good luck with that.

As the carpenters used to say, search twice post once! There is a thread about this up already, try going here for more information: 3D Sound disabled, worked in Beta

Gah! Obsidius sneaks in at the buzzer.
