This is kinda off topic, but the only reason I want it working is for GPL, so there. I can't get my PCI64 to put anything out of the rear speaker jack. When I go into the soundblaster software to test it, it tells me I must have DirectX 5.0 or higher. When I go into DirectX 6.1, and test it, it tells me there is some unknown failure. I went to Creative's horrible web page and downloaded newer drivers, no help. Don McCorkle Libertarian Motorsports

Simply connecting the speakers to the second jack will do nothing. For example in F1RS with the 3D sound patch you will only hear sound coming from those as another cars comes up behind you. You will definitely not get constant sound from those speakers. Period. This is why I stuck with the 2 speaker 3D sound configuration. Also may sure you get the latest W98 drivers from the creative site. I am assuming you are using W98. BTW, my SBPCI64 works great in GPL. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
