[QUOTE="geov, post: 193166, member: 26381"] Hi All OK I've got a new toy; its called the "Creative SB Audigy 4 Pro", which I'm hoping will sorts out my Surround-Sound properly. I'm still playing with it, but wow what a difference on just MP3's, which now play in full surround without me having had to change anything in MediaPortal. This also got rid of an irritating buzz when the volume was very high, so now even classical sounds great when it’s loud... One challenge I’m hoping to resolve it to al last listen to TV that broadcasts in surround, up until now the best I could get was stereo. I’m a bit concerned about how to connect it up without getting a lag between the picture and the sound…but that’s a problem for a different day.
