Problem with SoundBlaster Audigy 2 hardware acceleration



I while back I changed my hardware acceleration of my SoundBlaster Audigy 2
ZS Platinum Pro to "Basic acceleration" to eliminate a game lock up problem
(a suggestion on the website to fix the lockups). Now when I try to set it
back to "Full acceleration" in the advanced audio properties and in dxdiag
it will show that I'm using full acceleration but the surround sound isn't
working and it seems like my hardware buffers are still disabled. When I
restart the computer and go back to advanced audio properties the
acceleration is back at basic. No matter what I change (even finding the
settings in the registry's currentcontrolset and editing them there) it
always goes back to "Basic acceleration". Can anyone tell me how to solve
this problem?

Oh, I also uninstalled all of the soundcard's software and drivers and
deleted the inf files to do a full clean reinstall of the card.

I'm running Windows XP Pro on a 3000+ Athlon XP

Thanks in advanced for any help,
Orion
