Surround sound? Does it work though? If something is behind you, does it sound behind you? Now that would be cool. I want a new computer

I meant to ask you, how did you set up your ZS PP for surround sound gaming? I'm having a b*stard of a job, I've got a set of Inspire digital speakers which has three digital ins two analog (l and r) there's 3 outputs on the actual ZS card itself but I seem to have most sound coming through the rear speakers

Well that's the general idea, yeah.

It helps to use the speaker calibrator in the Creative Audigy 2 start menu list.
I've never used 5.1 so the connections will be different though.

I think there must be something wrong with my drivers heh, all I get is ERROR: Calibrator will now exit.

That could explain why your speaker volumes are screwed up then.

EAX and surround sound gaming has been around for years.

My PC is ancient. When I went to Uni I had to stop concentrating on keeping up with the latest hardware, and start concentrating on information systems. I'm way out of touch. If anything, these days it's much more complex because of the range of choice and the extent to which technology has developed.
I've just checked and my soundcard supports 4 speakers. I have headphones. Give it a few years though and I'm sure I'll be able to have extra ears added.

No need, you can buy 5.1 headphones which have extra speakers inside.

After a bit you develop a feel for where the vulnerable bits are likely to be. Games don't differ drastically in how they're programmed. That said, it took me about a month to kill the big baby at the end of Half-life 
You watch - it'll be its knee caps or something daft that are vulnerable
