Hello all, I have currently SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 and Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 speaker system. The problem is that the sound on Center speaker will only come out in certain programs like WinDVD 3.1 and Ghost Recon. WinAmp isn't playing any sound through center speaker, so I am not getting full time 5.1 speakers sound. I heard that with Audigy, I will get sounds from my 5.1 speakers with all the programs. My question is what do you guys think about Audigy? How comapatible is it in Windows XP? Right now I have no problem what so ever with this Live! 5.1 card with Windows XP.

OP
Well...now that I turned off that SRS, MediaPlayer's sound quality is about as good as WinAmp.
As for Audigy and Klipsch 5.1 speaker system, there is still no sound coming out of center speaker. Only in some games like Ghost Recon and in WinDVD 3 when I watch DVD movies.

AOL owns Winamp, is another good "it sucks" excuse.
Winamp 'rocks'
Load up winamp and mediaplayer 7/8 go to task manager and see how much memory they both need. That is why winamp 'rocks'. It does everything that mediaplayer does at the fraction of the memory cost, and you can get loads of skins for it and customise it to your tastes. Great little program.
As for via chisets words cannot express how pleased i am to finally be rid of them. Before, yes my pc was stable but it took endless tweaking and changing of bios settings/installing drivers to get it that way. Now what have i done ive installed the hardware, installed windows and it works...just like that AMD chips are great and i would probably be running 1 now if there was a good chipset for it to go with, but i wouldnt call via good ;(
In summary winamp and intel 'rock' and media player 'sucks'

Who really cares if Media player uses more resources to play. Most modern systems can easily play using WMP hardly breaking a sweat. Your computer would have to pretty much suck, if it couldn't handle WMP. I fully agree with Intel chipsets being the best though.
Well I care for one. What would happen if every program just did what media player did. eh?
Its just the principal Why use an overly bloated media player when you can have a nice small one that does everything you need and more?

Well, I find that Media Player offers much better sound quality. But really it's a matter of opinion.
You might be right on the sound quality issue, ive never really compared em
