Use the Windows speaker thingy (Advanced button) to check if it has the rear
channels set to line-in or microphone.

Neither option is checked. Should they be?

Only if the speakers are plugged into those sockets.

May well be a software problem. Vanilla Winamp doesn't use rear
speakers, you need the Dee3 plugin. Nero Showtime and Cyberlink PowerDVD
don't use them until you enable it (and buy a plugin for Dolby5.1).
Freelancer uses them if you set it in options ...

does that help? -Peter (who spent an awfully long time messing around
with similar problems recently)

Try the following :

From the back of the amp, two wires go into the computer :
-put the black in blue, and;
-put the green in green

From the nForce2 Control Panel :
-select No#1 'rear speakers connected to line in' double click speaker
icon brhs/advanced
-select 'no digital' output in 'speaker setup' in nForce Control Panel

hi, i had similar problems with my soundstorm
either try nforce 3.13 drivers or d/l them and extract the soundstorm
utility and use that with current nforce drivers like 5.10

I just migrated KT7-RAID -> NF7S V2. Re-install of the OS (Win98SE).
All updates available from m$ have been installed.

Soundstorm problem: clicking on .wav files gets the desired response.
..mp3 and .wma files play micro-clips & skips, resulting in song
completion in about 1.10 the expected time.

Games sound files have the same horrible problem.

What's the first thing to try? Tell me which M should I R and I'll
RTFM.

Seems nobody (nVidia/Abit) has updated drivers for Soundstorm under
Win98SE...

Somebody here recommended I use Realtek drivers, although I wouldn't
know how to implement THAT.
Had a quick look at NVidia's site, and I can't find Win9x drivers
either. Ack. That stinks :-( The new Win2k/XP audio driver package they
have there fixed the same issues you're having for me, except it still
left the chanels all mixed up. It's a poor poor performance by their
software/driver people IMO. I am more than half decided that my next
mobo will NOT have an NVidia chipset (Nor an Intel one).
