Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Every time I restart Win2k the Creative Sound Mixer defaults to 2.1 speakers and I have to change it to headphones every time. How do I reset default to "Headphones?"
My ZS does the same kinds of things, like default to 2 speakers after playing Doom3 or certains other games. (Although I get Doom3 to play in surround mode after resetting settings in the audio control panel and then in the game).
Basically the Audigy drivers suck, they let games whack their settings.
It does this without playing any games. I synced with control panel, which is set properly to "headphones" which should also cause the Creative software to pick them up.
My X-FI has the same type of problem. The drivers never remeber where I left the sliders at in the software. Looks like an ongoing problem with your ZS up to my X-FI.
I have always had this problem with them. Every now and then I'll notice my games or my music only coming out of 2 speakers (I have a 5.1 setup), I have to go to either the Control Panel or Creative's Software thingy and set it back to 5.1.
