I have a small problem. I cannot get the reflections option to be unshaded
so I can select, something other than none. I have a new SB live using the
cd drivers. I want to hear these 3D sounds. Currently I have it set at 16
bit.

You have to have an Aureal chipset for the reflections option. A Monster
MX300 accerates 3D sound using that chipset. The Sound Blaster uses another
standard for 3D sound. N3 was optimized for Aureal. With that said, I
tried both sound cards. I went back to the sound blaster and found that the
reflections were not all that good. With Tom Pabst working on sound sets
for N3, and since his standard is the SB Live, I chose to stay with SB
standard. To test the different sound cards cost me a 15% restocking fee at
Comp USA so just send me a couple of bucks to save you time and trouble. I
had a hell of a time getting the MX300 installed properly.
Randy,

great!, <G> So did I waste my $56 on the SB live? I was really wanting to
hear this killer 3D sound. Rush mentioned that it really wasn't that much of
a difference between the MX 300 and the SB live.

No, you didn't waste your money, the SB Live is a good card. You should be
getting 3D sound, the only thing you're missing is reflections. Also, you
should never take computer advice from Limbaugh, that's not his field of
expertice.

Um.. I have not read anywhere that the 3D sound in N3 was "killer". The
reflections appeared to be simple reverb from what I read.
