Sound warping/stuttering near other planes/fights

There is no compatibility issue.

All those special effects built into spound cards are for games that do not make use of a 3D sound field.  They assume a mono or stereo sound.  We generate a 3D sound field without anything else being needed, other than a decent sound card.

The compatibility issue lies with sound cards who try to over process the sound being generated instead of leaving it alone.

Our game adheres to the documented methods of generating sound using the DirectSound API.

I guess I am confused.  Are you saying I should try to dumb down the processing of sounds by my chipset because the game software already puts it in 3D?  If so, how the heck do you disable said "over-processing" in the case of AH2?  I did not have this issue with my older rig which had a SB Audigy SE or something like that sound card.

I would guess turning off EAX while playing Aces High might do the trick (That SB Audigy didn't really have true EAX support, perhaps that's why it worked better on that particular sound card).

Go into control panel and bring up the audio console SB installs for its sound cards. Disable all effects that you can. You will have things like EAX Effects and CMSS 3D. Then from the creative app folder bring up the speaker detect application and tell it you are using a headset. If you leave the speaker detect at 4.1 or 5.1 or whatever other than HEADSET it will use up time trying to feed surround sound speakers through your headset.
