Speakers

I just purchased Doom 3 and its outta this world. However, a minor annoyance, the rear speakers do not work! I have tried enabling surround sound, but it will not allow me. I checked the audio control panel and everything is hunky-dory. Any ideas? My sound card is a SB Audigy and I have a Cambridge 4.1 system. Thanks in advance.

LOL :) I have noticed some other things like a small crackle after the voices in the pda recordings. I'm beginning to think that I have a bigger problem than just a Doom 3 issue. One of the games that came with my Audigy 2 was Tomb Raider AOD. It wouldn't even acknowledge that I had any EAX capabilities. I didn't really care since the game was pretty crappy, and EAX seems to be running fine on other games such as Thief:DS. I have the newest drivers for my card. Any suggestions; does anybody experience similar issues, perhaps?

Did you uninstall your previous sound driver before installing the new ones? I would recommend going into add/remove programs and remove all the sound drivers you find, then re-installing the ones you want to use.

And you have 4.1 surround? Didn't want to spend money on that last speaker or what?

Now don't be dissing 4.1. When you can get a brand new 4.1 system with a fat sub, at nearly half the price of a comparable 5.1 system, why spend the extra money?

Anyway to get the surround sound for me, I had to have 5.1 set in my contol panel. It seems that Doom 3 does not let you turn on surround unless you have 5.1 or 6.1 selected. I don't know why they don't like us 4.1 and 4.0 guys, but hey.
