| I recently upgraded my MB to an EPOX 8RGMI which has a C-Media 9739A
| onboard sound chip. Now in Halo the option to enable hardware

| passes all the DXDIAG tests and claims to support EAX so what could be
| the problem?
|
| Needless to say I've d/led the latest drivers, reinstalled the game
| etc etc but no difference.
|
| It seems weird because my old motherboard was an Asus A7N266-VM with
| onboard nforce sound and I could enable Hardware acceleration on that
| no problem. From the specs the newer board has better sound
| capabilities.
|
| Does anyone have any ideas before I go out and blow a load of cash on
| an SBLive/Audigy to get EAX back?

| Thanks
