If anyone else has had this problem I would really appreciate your advice. In Cart Precision Racing, if I go to the sound menu and select dolby surround, then leave the sound menu, then return to the sound menu the selection is back on Mono. I can't seem to get the selection to stay on Dolby Surround. I can select Stereo ok. Any ideas?

You know there is no gain of hearing in pro-logic with normal speakers. You need some special ones who are made for Pro-logic or Dolby mode. Altec-Lansing ACS-495 are an example of this.

Thanks, but I have a Dolby Pro logic decoder and 5 speakers. I have a Soundblaster AWE 32. I don't need a 3D sound card do I, like Monster 3D sound card? The normal Dolby pro logic of home entertainment systems only decodes from the stereo output from a stereo Video doesn't it. David
