Windows keeps reseting sound options.

[usslindstrom]

I have a SBLive 5.1 PCI card that I have 4 speakers running off of it, 2 front & 2 back w/subwoofer.

I set it up through the control panel of windows to tell it that I have surround sound speakers and it works perfectly... But every so often, it resets itself back to desktop speakers, and I have to make the change again.

Is there any way to stop it from reverting back to 2 speakers, vice surround?

Don't know if it will help but have you tried setting it through the Creative Surround Mixer?

[Jeordiewhite]

Are you using one or more hook up's for the speakers for front and rear/sub?
If not then try the surround mixer, are you using the latest drivers for it by the way?
It may not be a problem but couldn't hurt using them as well.
