You have set your speakers to 5.1 in windows xp have you not ??

I know mine a few times witch to Stereo for some reason. Got to keep
checking every now and again to see and switch it back.

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for resonding. Yep, but the sound options in WoW are pretty basic.
Basically all you can change are sound effect and music volumes (and probably
a few more things I can't recall off the top of my head). I've checked all
the interface menus as well and nothing there either.

Hmmm.

Hi deevil,

Have you examined all the possible in game sound settings
to see if you can convince WoW to recognise your x-530's?

|
| If anyone can advise what I can do to get this working, I'd appreciate it!

| Thanks,
