turn on EAX, for testing purposes. Then check if you have all speakers activated in windows. Check if your soundcard has exceptions for some applications.

I am using a SBLive!5.1 and it works fine...

It is the EAX button and it stands for Environmental Audio Effects. Will make water sound better, echo's in caves and more. Really really cool! Really, really a resource hogger. But knowing software in general, it might reset the way the soundcard handles Ryzom and multiple speakers.

I think I will try to turn it on soon, as patch2 speeded up the game enormously for me, as well as the tweaks I mentioned somewhere else in this forum.

Really people, to speed up Ryzom, turn off file access / modification date and time as well as the 8.3 filename lenght.

I set mine up a while back but i ended up turning it off as the bass from the moaning of the trees was shaken everything and I dont think my downstairs neighbor was happy about it. Was fun while I was using it. I stick with headset now as guild uses voice chat.
