Speaker Setting Problem

[C.Champ]

I have Windows XP with an Altec 251 5.1 surround sound speaker system
driven by a Sound Blaster Live sound card. My problem is this.



When I set the speaker setting in START-CONTROL PANEL-SOUNDS, SPEECH, AND
AUDIO DEVICES-SPEAKER SETTINGS ADVANCED, the setting defaults to "Desktop
Stereo Speakers". I change it to "5.1 Surround Sound Speakers" and
everything is fine until I reboot, then it is changed back to the "Desktop
Stereo Speakers" setting.



Any help on how to make it stay on the "5.1 Surround Sound Speakers"
setting is greatly appreciated.

Try your settings in Creative AudioHQ. Set them and go back to Control Panel
and reset, if necessary, or vice-versa.

Do you have the latest driver for your sound blaster live ? You might try
setting the speakers to four speakers. Jym

Having similar problem as above:

Klipsch 4.1 speakers, SoundMAX Audio.

Everytime Windows XP restarts, it resets the speaker setting back
to "Desktop Stereo Speakers". I change both in SoundMAX Control
Panel and Speaker Setting Advanced Tab, but it still keeps resetting.
I have installed the latest drivers certified for XP.
