Speaker Setting Problem

I have Windows XP with an Altec 251 5.1 surround sound speaker system
driven by a Sound Blaster Live sound card. My problem is this.



When I set the speaker setting in START-CONTROL PANEL-SOUNDS, SPEECH, AND
AUDIO DEVICES-SPEAKER SETTINGS ADVANCED, the setting defaults to "Desktop
Stereo Speakers". I change it to "5.1 Surround Sound Speakers" and
everything is fine until I reboot, then it is changed back to the "Desktop
Stereo Speakers" setting.



Any help on how to make it stay on the "5.1 Surround Sound Speakers"
setting is greatly appreciated.

Champ. I'm having similar problems with my Audigy2 Platinum and my
Cambridge SoundWorks FPS2000's. I can't get it maintain my settings. I've
posted in this group concerning that so you may want to watch that thread
also.

Hope that can help.
