I have been using a sound blaster live 24bit in RF for a while now. my os was win2k. due to spyware doc trashing me os's registry i had to format, so i disided to put on Xp. but now the sound disapears in RF after 2 min in all games modes. this is not a problem with my compy as i have tryed that sound card in several XP compys and the same thing results. its also not a driver problem as i downloaded the latest drivers and the same thing happens in all XP compys but not win2k or other os's. it seems that XP wont let this card work with RF, not just RF but a few other games suffer but not to the extent of sound disapearing just bad quality. and 1 got any ideas why this is happening?

I have a SoundBlaster card too and I experienced the same problems... I didn't know if it was a bug with RF or what...

In the end I simply ran RF from my onboard sound card and kept my SB for other games.

I think that issue has something to do with EAX since I also had this problem, but when I disabled EAX problem stopped.

I think it the way XP runs EAX since other os's run EAX fine. not the drivers coz it says designed for windows XP on the driver readme and on the cards box.

EDIT: will realtek ALC-883 HD codec chip be any good over AC97

I use AC'97, never had a problem with it.
