Not sure if this trick only applied to Sound Blaster Live! cards in Windows 2000 or what, but this fixes it and I'm so happy the audio is perfect again without needing to install Win98 to play this kick-*** game.

all you did was disable EAX, so if your game did not support 3D Sound then you are correct, it was a good fix. However, you no longer have EAX/3D Sound for any games you might be playing, which means you've joined the club with all of us who have been screwed by Creative Labs.
 
I bought a Santa Cruz and won't be looking to Creative for any future purchases...
