4 speaker for standard WAV playback

[Lars-Erik Østerud]

I have an SBlive card, under Win98se I could make standard WAV (music
files etc) use ALL 4 speakers for playback (and surround in games).

After I installed XP sound/wav playback only use front speakers
(games still use 4 speaker, but the effect is not as good anymore).

Also I have some volume problems. Playing MIDI sets the MIDI volume to
the Media Player volume (if Midi volume was 50% and Media Player
volume is 100%, then MIDI volume is reset at 100% - way to high).
But the same isn't true for WAV, then the WAV volume is not reset
(the Media player volume is applied on top of the Volume control one).

I have tried both the build in XP drivers, and Creatives newest one.

One more: In Win98 I have 3 MIDI synth options, Microsoft and SBlive
A and B. In XP there is only two, Mircosoft or SBlive ("EMU10K").
